IBM Research AI | Computer Vision and Augmented Reality
• The model is a variant ofan auto-encoder operatingin feature space
• The network learns to encode the delta between the reference and the target image
• This delta is used to recover the target image as a (non-linear)combination of the reference and the delta

IBM Research AI | Computer Vision and Augmented Reality
• At test time we sampleencoded deltasfrom random training image pairs
• The sampled deltas are usedto create samples for new classes by combining them with the new class reference examples
• These samples are used to traina classifier for the new category
