Observational Learning

Observational Learning

Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Introduction to Learning

Introduction to Learning

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Associative Learning

Associative Learning

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Survival Tree

Survival Tree

Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Random Sampling Method

Random Sampling Method

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest. Among the various sampling methods used by...

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Background:

Few-shot learning (FSL) typically assumes clean training data for novel classes.
Real-world applications often involve user-provided data with potential noise and outliers.
Existing FSL methods struggle with data contaminated by outliers.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce robust few-shot learning (RFSL) to address outliers in user-provided data.
Define and tackle representation outliers (RO) and label outliers (LO).
Establish a benchmark for evaluating FSL robustness against outliers.

Main Methods:

Introduce a novel metric for estimating robustness in FSL.
Evaluate existing advanced FSL methods under outlier conditions.
Propose robust attentive profile networks (RapNets) for outlier suppression.

Main Results:

Current FSL methods exhibit significant performance degradation with user-provided outliers.
The proposed RapNets effectively suppress both representation and label outliers.
RapNets establish a new state-of-the-art for robust few-shot learning problems.

Conclusions:

Robustness is a critical consideration for practical FSL applications.
RapNets offer a promising solution for handling noisy data in FSL.
This work sets a benchmark for future research in robust FSL.
