This anonymized repository contains the code and data for our ICLR submission.
Our goal is to improve few-shot classification performance by learning high-quality attention from the distributional signatures of the inputs. Given a particular episode, we extract relevant statistics from the source pool and the support set. Since these statistics only roughly approximate word importance for classification, we utilize an attention generator to translate them into high-quality attention that operates over words. This generated attention provides guidance for the downstream predictor, a ridge regressor, to quickly learn from a few labeled examples.

We ran experiments on a total of 6 datasets. You may download our processed data here.
Dataset | Notes |
---|---|
20 Newsgroups (link) | Processed data available. We used the 20news-18828 version, available at the link provided. |
RCV1 (link) | Due to the licensing agreement, we cannot release the raw data. Instead, we provide a list of document IDs and labels. You may request the dataset from the link provided. |

- Each JSON file contains one example per line. With the exception of RCV1, each example has keys
text
andlabel
.text
is a list of input tokens andlabel
is an integer, ranging from 0 to the number of classes - 1. - For RCV1, we are unable to distribute the original data. In place of input tokens, each example specifies a
path
, which corresponds to each example's file path in the data distribution. - Class splits for each dataset may be found in
src/dataset/loader.py
.
Run our model with default settings. By default we load data from data/
.
./bin/our.sh
Scripts for other baselines (NN, Finetune, Prototypical Network, MAML, Induction
Net, P-MAML) may be found under bin/
.
src/main.py
may be run with one of three modes: train
, test
, and finetune
.
train
trains the meta-model using episodes sampled from the training data.test
evaluates the current meta-model on 1000 episodes sampled from the testing data.finetune
trains a fully-supervised classifier on the training data and finetunes it on the support set of each episode, sampled from the testing data.
