The field of few-shot learning and multimodal analysis is rapidly advancing, with a focus on developing innovative methods to improve model performance and generalization in data-scarce scenarios. Recent research has emphasized the importance of disentangling representations, leveraging multimodal contrastive learning, and incorporating causal attention mechanisms to mitigate biases and improve robustness. The use of large multi-modal models and universal training-free frameworks has also shown promise in enhancing few-shot learning capabilities. Notable papers in this area include: Causal Disentanglement and Cross-Modal Alignment for Enhanced Few-Shot Learning, which proposes a novel framework for disentangling visual features and enhancing cross-modal alignment. UniFGVC: Universal Training-Free Few-Shot Fine-Grained Vision Classification via Attribute-Aware Multimodal Retrieval, which introduces a universal training-free framework for few-shot fine-grained visual classification. A Foundational Multi-Modal Model for Few-Shot Learning, which demonstrates the effectiveness of a large multi-modal model in improving few-shot learning performance. Disentangling Bias by Modeling Intra- and Inter-modal Causal Attention for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis, which proposes a multi-relational multimodal causal intervention model to address biases in multimodal sentiment analysis. Sculpting Margin Penalty: Intra-Task Adapter Merging and Classifier Calibration for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning, which introduces a novel method for few-shot class-incremental learning that strategically integrates margin penalties to balance base-class discriminability and new-class generalization.
