AI Method Overcomes Labelled Data Scarcity for Defect Classification in STM
Scanning tunneling microscopy image analysis traditionally requires extensive manual labeling. A new approach combines few-shot learning and unsupervised learning to automate defect classification, achieving high accuracy on multiple surfaces with minimal labelled data. The model can adapt to unseen surfaces with as few as one additional data point.
