Abstract Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in various fields and is a key task in natural language processing (NLP). The objective is to identify and interpret emotional expressions in text. However, traditional emotion recognition approaches often struggle in few-shot cross-domain scenarios due to their limited capacity to generalize semantic features across different domains. Additionally, these methods face challenges in accurately capturing complex emotional states, particularly those that are subtle or implicit. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a novel approach called Dual-Task Contrastive Meta-Learning (DTCML). This method combines meta-learning and contrastive learning to improve emotion… More >

Abstract The rapid growth of machine learning (ML) across fields has intensified the challenge of selecting the right algorithm for specific tasks, known as the Algorithm Selection Problem (ASP). Traditional trial-and-error methods have become impractical due to their resource demands. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) systems automate this process, but often neglect the group structures and sparsity in meta-features, leading to inefficiencies in algorithm recommendations for classification tasks. This paper proposes a meta-learning approach using Multivariate Sparse Group Lasso (MSGL) to address these limitations. Our method models both within-group and across-group sparsity among meta-features to manage high-dimensional More >

Abstract Evaluating artificial intelligence (AI) systems is crucial for their successful deployment and safe operation in real-world applications. The assessor meta-learning model has been recently introduced to assess AI system behaviors developed from emergent characteristics of AI systems and their responses on a test set. The original approach lacks covering continuous ranges, for example, regression problems, and it produces only the probability of success. In this work, to address existing limitations and enhance practical applicability, we propose an assessor feedback mechanism designed to identify and learn from AI system errors, enabling the system to perform the More >

Abstract Wheat is a critical crop, extensively consumed worldwide, and its production enhancement is essential to meet escalating demand. The presence of diseases like stem rust, leaf rust, yellow rust, and tan spot significantly diminishes wheat yield, making the early and precise identification of these diseases vital for effective disease management. With advancements in deep learning algorithms, researchers have proposed many methods for the automated detection of disease pathogens; however, accurately detecting multiple disease pathogens simultaneously remains a challenge. This challenge arises due to the scarcity of RGB images for multiple diseases, class imbalance in existing… More >

Abstract Due to the rapid evolution of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) attacks, the emergence of new and rare attack samples, and even those never seen before, make it challenging for traditional rule-based detection methods to extract universal rules for effective detection. With the progress in techniques such as transfer learning and meta-learning, few-shot network attack detection has progressed. However, challenges in few-shot network attack detection arise from the inability of time sequence flow features to adapt to the fixed length input requirement of deep learning, difficulties in capturing rich information from original flow in the case… More >

Abstract We advanced an emerging federated learning technology in city intelligentization for tackling a real challenge— to learn damaged objects in aerial videos. A meta-learning system was integrated with the fuzzy broad learning system to further develop the theory of federated learning. Both the mixed picture set of aerial video segmentation and the 3D-reconstructed mixed-reality data were employed in the performance of the broad federated meta-learning system. The study results indicated that the object classification accuracy is up to 90% and the average time cost in damage detection is only 0.277 s. Consequently, the broad federated More >

Abstract Currently, one of the most severe problems in the agricultural industry is the effect of diseases and pests on global crop production and economic development. Therefore, further research in the field of crop disease and pest detection is necessary to address the mentioned problem. Aiming to identify the diseased crops and insect pests timely and accurately and perform appropriate prevention measures to reduce the associated losses, this article proposes a Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) attention model based on the meta-learning paradigm. The proposed model combines meta-learning with basic learning and adopts an Efficient Channel Attention (ECA)… More >

Abstract High-resolution medical images have important medical value, but are difficult to obtain directly. Limited by hardware equipment and patient’s physical condition, the resolution of directly acquired medical images is often not high. Therefore, many researchers have thought of using super-resolution algorithms for secondary processing to obtain high-resolution medical images. However, current super-resolution algorithms only work on a single scale, and multiple networks need to be trained when super-resolution images of different scales are needed. This definitely raises the cost of acquiring high-resolution medical images. Thus, we propose a multi-scale super-resolution algorithm using meta-learning. The algorithm… More >

Abstract Online advertising has gained much attention on various platforms as a hugely lucrative market. In promoting content and advertisements in real life, the acquisition of user target actions is usually a multi-step process, such as impression→click→conversion, which means the process from the delivery of the recommended item to the user’s click to the final conversion. Due to data sparsity or sample selection bias, it is difficult for the trained model to achieve the business goal of the target campaign. Multi-task learning, a classical solution to this problem, aims to generalize better on the original task… More >

Abstract Few-shot learning is becoming more and more popular in many fields, especially in the computer vision field. This inspires us to introduce few-shot learning to the genomic field, which faces a typical few-shot problem because some tasks only have a limited number of samples with high-dimensions. The goal of this study was to investigate the few-shot disease sub-type prediction problem and identify patient subgroups through training on small data. Accurate disease sub-type classification allows clinicians to efficiently deliver investigations and interventions in clinical practice. We propose the SW-Net, which simulates the clinical process of extracting… More >
