To test in the 5-way K-shot setting:

bash scripts/test/{dataset_name}_5wKs.sh

For example, to test ReNet on the miniImagenet dataset in the 5-way 1-shot setting:

bash scripts/test/miniimagenet_5w1s.sh

To train in the 5-way K-shot setting:

bash scripts/train/{dataset_name}_5wKs.sh

For example, to train ReNet on the CUB dataset in the 5-way 1-shot setting:

bash scripts/train/cub_5w1s.sh

Training & testing a 5-way 1-shot model on the CUB dataset using a TitanRTX 3090 GPU takes 41m 30s.

Experimental results on few-shot classification datasets with ResNet-12 backbone. We report average results with 2,000 randomly sampled episodes.
