Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We conduct experiments on three benchmark datasets by applying the framework to both representative meta-learning baselines and state-of-the-art FSL methods. Our framework consistently improves performances in all experiments and refreshes the state-of-the-art FSL results.

Pseudocode No The paper describes the proposed framework using mathematical equations but does not include any pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access information (e.g., a specific repository link or an explicit code release statement) for the source code of the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes We conducted experiments on three FSL benchmark datasets: mini-Image Net (Ravi & Larochelle, 2016), tiered-Image Net (Ren et al., 2018) and CUB (Welinder et al., 2010).
Dataset Splits Yes We follow the train/validation/test split configuration in (Ravi & Larochelle, 2016; Ren et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2019) for the three datasets respectively and report the average test results over multiple runs.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments, such as GPU models or CPU specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python 3.x, PyTorch 1.x) that would be needed for replication.
Experiment Setup Yes We find that 5 × 10−5 generally works best for all baseline model training. When the re-representation layer is enabled, we fix the learning rate to 10−5. The key hyperparameters in our proposed framework are α1, α2 and τ. Their values are selected using the validation split of the corresponding datasets.
