Interpretable Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning with Rectified Target-Domain Local Alignment

Dimensions overall score 6.0

• A method to enhance local vision-language alignment in few-shot learning for better interpretability in medical diagnosis. Typical downstream domains, such as medical diagnosis, require fine-grained visual cues for interpretable recognition, but we find that current fine-tuned CLIP models can hardly focus on these cues, albeit they can roughly focus on important regions in source domains.problem 35%

• Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning (CDFSL) adapts models trained with large-scale general data (source domain) to downstream target domains with only scarce training data, where the research on vision-language models (e.g., CLIP) is still in the early stages. Typical downstream domains, such as medical diagnosis, require fine-grained visual cues for interpretable recognition, but we find that current fine-tuned CLIP models can hardly focus on these cues, albeit they can roughly focus on important regions in source domains.method 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 6.0/10 on the public viability pass. Extensive experiments on various benchmarks, backbones, and fine-tuning methods show we can (1) effectively improve the local vision-language alignment, (2) enhance the interpretability of learned patterns and model decisions by visualizing patches, and (3) achieve state-of-the-art performance.result 35%
