Title: SimForest:  An Efficient Plug-in to Boost Few-Shot Learning Performance. Abstract: Due to a lack of labeled training data and the subsequent unreliability in empirical risk minimization, few-shot learning algorithms usually suffer from high variance and bias in their predictions.  Ensemble, on the other hand, combines predictions from multiple predictors, thus alleviating the aforementioned unreliability. Essentially, we believe that ensemble is a simple yet effective solution to tackle the core problems in few-shot learning; therefore, we develop a plug-in (ensemble) method to boost the performance of trained few-shot models. To maximize the performance of ensemble, we use epoch-training to develop the feature representations used in the plug-in; in contrast, episodic training is used to obtain the feature representations of the original few-shot models. To minimize the extra computation cost induced by ensemble, we adopt a non-deep classifier (e.g: random forest) for the plug-in, which can complete its training within a few seconds. Our method achieves substantial improvements for the few-shot learning, consistently outperforming all the baseline methods.
