Key-shot Learning

K-shot learning is a machine learning approach where models are trained with only "k" labeled examples per class, typically between 1 and 5. This method is part of the few-shot learning field, designed to help models generalize from minimal data. Techniques such as metric learning, meta-learning, and transfer learning are crucial for its success. K-shot learning is especially valuable in fields like medical diagnosis and robotics, where data can be scarce.
