摘要
Despite the importance of few-shot learning, the lack of labeled training data in the real world makes it extremely challenging for existing machine learning methods because this limited dataset does not well represent the data variance. In this research, we suggest employing a generative approach using variational autoencoders (VAEs), which can be used specifically to optimize few-shot learning tasks by generating new samples with more intra-class variations on the Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset. The purpose of our research is to increase the size of the training dataset using various methods to improve the accuracy and robustness of the few-shot face recognition. Specifically, we employ the VAE generator to increase the size of the training dataset, including the basic and the novel sets while utilizing transfer learning as the backend. Based on extensive experimental research, we analyze various data augmentation methods to observe how each method affects the accuracy of face recognition. The face generation method based on VAEs with perceptual loss can effectively improve the recognition accuracy rate to 96.47% using both the base and the novel sets.
