Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Deep learning has brought revolutionary advancements in the area of computer vision. However, the data-hungry property of deep neural networks has greatly limited their practical application. Few-shot learning (FSL) is a type of machine learning problem, where experience contains only a limited number of examples with supervised information for the target. As a way of learning like humans, FSL has attracted a lot of attention in various computer vision tasks. Recently, many classical few-shot learning models have been put forward successively, bringing in significant development in this field of research. However, there is currently still a gap compared with human intelligence, even for the best FSL model. Determining how to further improve the performance of FSL models and accelerate their prompt application in practical scenarios is definitely a topic worth studying.
The topic of this Special Issue covers a wide range of algorithms, methods, and applications of few-shot learning. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Theory of few-shot learning;
- Conventional few-shot learning;
- Data augmentation for few-shot learning;
- Cross-domain few-shot learning;
- Cross-modal few-shot learning;
- Few-shot classification;
- Few-shot object detection;
- Few-shot semantic segmentation;
- Few-shot learning with pre-trained models.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
