Show abstract
The process of learning good features to discriminate among numerous and different bird phrases is computationally expensive. Moreover, it might be impossible to achieve acceptable performance in cases where training data is scarce and classes are unbalanced. To address this issue, we propose a few-shot learning task in which an algorithm must make predictions given only a few instances of each class. We compared the performance of different Siamese Neural Networks at metric learning over the set of Cassinis Vireo syllables. Then, the network features were reused for the few-shot classification task. With this approach we overcame the limitations of data scarcity and class imbalance while achieving state-of-the-art performance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
