Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) is a machine learning setting in which a model trained on base classes must learn new classes from few examples without forgetting.

Few-shot learning

Few-shot learning is a machine learning approach in which a model learns a new task from a few labeled examples, often by transferring knowledge from related tasks.

Few-shot object detection

Few-shot object detection (FSOD) is a machine learning task in which a detector recognizes and localizes objects of novel classes from only a small number of labeled examples.

Few-view and limited-angle tomography

Few-view and limited-angle tomography are related forms of incomplete-data computed tomography that reconstruct images from fewer projection angles or a restricted angular range, an ill-posed problem.
