- Prototypical networks are simple, efficient, and one of the most popularly used few-shot learning algorithms. The basic idea of the prototypical network is to create a prototypical representation of each class and classify a query point (new point) based on the distance between the class prototype and the query point.
- We compute embeddings for each of the data points to learn the features.
- Once we learn the embeddings of each data point, we take the mean embeddings of data points in each class and form the class prototype. So, a class prototype is basically the mean embeddings of data points in a class.
- In a Gaussian prototypical network, along with generating embeddings for the data points, we add a confidence region around them, which is characterized by a Gaussian covariance matrix. Having...

Overview of this book
Meta learning is an exciting research trend in machine learning, which enables a model to understand the learning process. Unlike other ML paradigms, with meta learning you can learn from small datasets faster.
Hands-On Meta Learning with Python starts by explaining the fundamentals of meta learning and helps you understand the concept of learning to learn. You will delve into various one-shot learning algorithms, like siamese, prototypical, relation and memory-augmented networks by implementing them in TensorFlow and Keras. As you make your way through the book, you will dive into state-of-the-art meta learning algorithms such as MAML, Reptile, and CAML. You will then explore how to learn quickly with Meta-SGD and discover how you can perform unsupervised learning using meta learning with CACTUs. In the concluding chapters, you will work through recent trends in meta learning such as adversarial meta learning, task agnostic meta learning, and meta imitation learning.
By the end of this book, you will be familiar with state-of-the-art meta learning algorithms and able to enable human-like cognition for your machine learning models.
