In this paper, researchers tackle the problem of overfitting in Few-Shot Learning (FSL), where models struggle to generalize well due to limited training data. They propose a method-agnostic framework called Meta-Task that uses both labeled and unlabeled data to regularize model behavior and improve performance on unseen tasks. The key innovation is the Task-Decoder, which refines hidden representations by reconstructing input images from embeddings, effectively mitigating overfitting.

This paper explores ways to prevent models from becoming too specialized when learning with small datasets. It shows that using both labeled and unlabeled data can help models generalize better. The researchers have a new way of doing this called Meta-Task, which helps by making the model think about different tasks at the same time.
