arXiv:2503.09679v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Meta-learning represents a strong class of approaches for solving few-shot learning tasks. Nonetheless, recent research suggests that simply pre-training a generic encoder can potentially surpass meta-learning algorithms. In this paper, we first discuss the reasons why meta-learning fails to stand out in these few-shot learning experiments, and hypothesize that it is due to the few-shot learning tasks lacking diversity. We propose DRESS, a task-agnostic Disentangled REpresentation-based Self-Supervised meta-learning approach that enables fast
This research is emerging as the AI community grapples with the limitations of current meta-learning approaches and the increasing demand for models that can generalize effectively across diverse tasks with minimal data.
DRESS proposes a novel approach to self-supervised meta-learning that could significantly improve the efficiency and robustness of AI systems in few-shot learning scenarios, critical for broad AI application.
The ability of meta-learning algorithms to address diverse tasks without extensive pre-training of generic encoders is enhanced, potentially making AI development more agile and less data-intensive.
