摘要

Transductive few-shot learning (TFSL) is a promising approach to improve model performance in data scarcity scenarios. But the labeled samples are normally supposed to be uniformly distributed across classes, which is not only non-informative but also unrealistic. We propose an Active Learning-assisted Prototype Rectification method to address the challenges of TFSL by effectively leveraging unlabeled data and enhancing model generalization. Firstly, multi-round active learning based on the Class Distribution Difference criterion is proposed to obtain the representative and boundary-aware samples, resulting in optimal prototype initialization; Secondly, robust prototype rectification via parameter-free Laplacian smoothing enforces manifold-consistent label propagation. Our experiments demonstrate the method achieves state-of-the-art performance within the active TFSL framework while maintaining runtime efficiency close to inductive methods.
