Few-shot Time-Series Forecasting with Application for Vehicular Traffic Flow

Few-shot machine learning attempts to predict outputs given only a very small number of training examples. The key idea behind most few-shot learning approaches is to pre-train the model with a large number of instances from a different but related class of data, classes for which a large number of instances are available for training. Few-shot learning has been most successfully demonstrated for classification problems using Siamese deep learning neural networks. Few-shot learning is less extensively applied to time-series forecasting.
