Abstract
The significant amount of training data required for training Convolutional Neural Networks has become a bottleneck for applications like semantic segmentation. Few-shot semantic segmentation algorithms address this problem, with an aim to achieve good performance in the low-data regime, with few annotated training images. Recent approaches based on class-prototypes computed from available training data have achieved immense success for this task. In this work, we propose a novel meta-learning framework, Semantic Meta-Learning (SML), which incorporates class level semantic descriptions in the generated prototypes for this problem. In addition, we propose to use the well-established technique, ridge regression, to not only bring in the class-level semantic information, but also to effectively utilise the information available from multiple images present in the training data for prototype computation. This has a simple closed-form solution, and thus can be implemented easily and efficiently. Extensive experiments on the benchmark PASCAL-5i dataset under different experimental settings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. © 2021
