Unlike deep learning, meta-learning uses few-shot datasets and concerns further improving model generalization to obtain higher prediction accuracy. We summarize meta-learning models in three categories: black-box adaptation, similarity based method and meta-learner procedure. Recent applications concentrate upon combination of meta-learning with Bayesian deep learning and reinforcement learning to provide feasible integrated problem solutions. We present performance comparison of recent meta-learning methods and discuss future research direction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-17T03:11:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "meta-learning", "comprehensive overview", "accurate model adaptation", "higher prediction accuracy", "improving model generalization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
