About this paper

The authors introduce adversarial support poisoning (ASP) for few-shot image classification, jointly perturbing labeled support images through task adaptation to reduce accuracy on seed and unseen query sets. On CIFAR-100, ASP reduces accuracy from 53.5% clean to 7.7% on unseen queries, but transfer between feature extractors does not significantly outperform the cheaper swap attack in reported comparisons.
