Abstract

Support set is one of the most important components of Few-Shot Learning (FSL) methods that greatly affects the performance of these methods. Most existing studies mainly focus on how to effectively utilize the support set sampled randomly, but ignoring the representative of the support set, leading to that the performance of the few-shot learning methods using different support sets randomly sampled varies greatly. In this paper, we focus on how to select a representative support set for FSL methods for medical few-shot relation extraction (FSRE), and propose a novel approach for Support Set Selection based on Adversarial Active Learning (text{S}-{3} AAL). The adversarial active learning does not only keeps the features shared by source and target, but also guarantees the diversity of the support set. We create three benchmark datasets for medical FSRE based on four public medical RE datasets. The experimental results on the three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach when it is plugged into state-of-the-art (SOTA) few-shot learning methods.
