Enhancing Robustness of Prototype with Attentive Information Guided Alignment in Few-Shot Classification
In this paper, we carefully revisit the issues of conventional few-shot learning: i) gaps in highlighted features between objects in support and query samples, and ii) losing the explicit local properties due ...

Open AccessMin-max exclusive virtual machine placement in cloud computing for scientific data environment
In cloud computing, there is a trade-off between SLAV (Service Level Agreement Violation) and system operating cost. Violation rates can be decreased when using more hosts, which increases system operating cos...
