The proposed Verbalized Representation Learning (VRL) approach is a novel method for extracting human-interpretable features from few-shot data, leveraging the Vision-Language Model (VLM) to identify key discriminative features between classes and shared characteristics within classes. This leads to feature vectors that can be used to train and infer with downstream classifiers. The experimental results show a 24% absolute improvement over prior state-of-the-art methods while using 95% less data and a smaller model, and the learned features exhibit a 20% absolute gain when used for downstream classification tasks.

VRL is an innovative way to help computers recognize objects by automatically extracting important details from only a few examples. This can be super helpful in situations where we don’t have much data to work with. The approach uses special models that combine computer vision and language processing skills, allowing it to identify what makes different classes distinct while also finding commonalities within the same class. This leads to better object recognition and classification results.
