Understanding Attentive Recurrent Comparators – Sanyam Agarwal – Medium

I recently came across an ICML'17 paper "Attentive Recurrent Comparators" which proposes a simple yet powerful model for data efficient learning. The paper presents the first super-human One-shot Classification performance on the Omniglot dataset using only raw pixel information! In this blog post I am going to present my understanding of the main ideas of the paper. The authors of the paper also released an implementation using Theano. But I found the implementation a bit difficult to follow.
