Let’s say you want to teach a computer to read handwritten digits. You might give it a bunch of rules to tell it what to do. For example, an oval is most likely a 0. Another approach you might try is “machine learning.” Give a computer a bunch of examples of each digit to study so that it can learn its own rules. This latter method has worked surprisingly well. In fact, most banks use this technology to allow ATMs or mobile phones read the amount on a check without the need for human interaction.

假设您想教一台计算机来读取手写数字。 您可能会给它一些规则来告诉它该怎么做。 例如，椭圆形很可能是0。您可以尝试的另一种方法是“机器学习”。 给计算机提供一堆有关每个数字的示例以供学习，以便它可以学习自己的规则。 后一种方法效果很好。 实际上，大多数银行都使用这种技术，使ATM或移动电话无需人工干预即可读取支票上的金额。

One limitation with current machine learning techniques, however, is that they require a lot of examples. For example, if you want to teach a computer to recognize cats, you need to first give the computer many pictures of cats so it can learn what cats looks like. These examples might not always exist or might be very expensive to obtain. What if you could teach a computer to learn a new concept, such as a “cat,” from just one or two examples? This is exactly what three researchers, Lake, Salakhutdinov, and Tenebaum, from MIT did.

但是，当前机器学习技术的局限性在于它们需要大量示例。 例如，如果要教计算机识别猫，则需要首先为计算机提供许多猫的图片，以便它可以了解猫的外观。 这些示例可能并不总是存在，或者获取起来可能非常昂贵。 如果您可以仅通过一个或两个示例来教计算机学习诸如“猫”之类的新概念，该怎么办？ 这正是麻省理工学院的三个研究人员Lake，Salakhutdinov和Tenebaum所做的。

The researchers specifically focused on character recognition. They asked: can we teach a computer to recognize new characters after just seeing one example? The end result was an algorithm that was just as good as humans at learning what new characters look like. Specifically, the algorithm performed just as well as humans in character recognition and generation tasks.

研究人员专门研究了字符识别。 他们问：仅看一个例子，我们可以教一台计算机识别新字符吗？ 最终结果是一种算法，与人类在学习新字符的外观方面一样出色。 具体而言，该算法在字符识别和生成任务方面的表现与人类一样好。
