However, this requirement is impractical for HSIs due to the difficulty in obtaining class labels. To make DNNs suitable for HSI classification with few labeled samples, we propose a graph-based deep multitask few-shot learning (GDMFSL) framework that learns the intrinsic relationships among all samples (labeled and unlabeled) of HSIs with the assistance of graph information to alleviate the over-fitting caused by few labeled training samples. Firstly, a semi-supervised graph is constructed to generate graph information. Secondly, a deep multitask network (DMN) is designed, which contains two subnetworks (tasks): a classifier subnetwork for learning class information from labeled samples and a Siamese subnetwork for learning sample relationships from the semi-supervised graph. To effectively learn graph information, a loss function suitable for the Siamese subnetwork is designed that shortens (and expands) the distance between the target sample and its nearest (and farthest) neighbors. Finally, since the number of training samples of the two subnetworks is severely imbalanced, a multitask few-shot learning strategy is designed to make two subnetworks converge simultaneously. Experimental results on the Indian Pines, University of Pavia and Salinas datasets demonstrate that GDMFSL achieves a better classification performance relative to existing competitors in few-shot settings. In particular, when only five labels per class are involved in training, the classification accuracy of GDMFSL on the three datasets reaches 87.58%, 86.42% and 98.85%, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14092246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,8]],"date-time":"2022-05-08T23:27:25Z","timestamp":1652052445000},"page":"2246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Graph-Based Deep Multitask Few-Shot Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Na","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 127 West Youyi Road, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deyun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 127 West Youyi Road, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1124-6738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 127 West Youyi Road, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaolong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 127 West Youyi Road, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6925-109X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information, Northwestern Polytechnical University, 127 West Youyi Road, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ElMasry, G., and Sun, D.W.
