Abstract

In recent years, deep learning model has made remarkable achievements in image, voice, text recognition and other fields. However, deep learning model relies heavily on large number of labeled data, which limits its application in the special field of data shortage.

For the practical situation such as lack of data, many scholars carry out research on the few shot learning methods, and there are many typical research directions, among which model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) is one of them. Aiming at the few shot learning method, this paper systematically expounds the current main research methods on few shot learning, the algorithm of MAML and implements the MAML on the SVHN dataset.
