Loss Architecture Search for Few-Shot Object Recognition

Figure 1

An example that shows the advantage of relative similarity. Left: nine objects from three different classes. The lemons and oranges are similar in appearance. Middle: a pairwise similarity-based model may be confused by a pair of objects from the lemon and orange classes. Right: if a model learns relative similarity between objects, it may not be confused since the anchor object (in the blue box) is relatively similar to the lemon compared to the orange.
