DirPA: Addressing Prior Shift in Imbalanced Few-shot Crop-type Classification
Real-world agricultural monitoring is often hampered by severe class imbalance and high label acquisition costs, resulting in significant data scarcity. In few-shot learning (FSL) -- a framework specifically designed for data-scarce settings -- , training sets are often artificially balanced. However, this creates a disconnect from the long-tailed distributions observed in nature, leading to a distribution shift that undermines the model's ability to generalize to real-world agricultural tasks. We previously introduced Dirichlet Prior Augmentation (DirPA; Reuss et al., 2026a) to proactively mitigate the effects of such label distribution skews during model training. In this work, we exten...
