Samenvatting	Bayesian Metric Learning frames the problem of learning a task-adapted distance function as probabilistic inference. Rather than producing a single optimal metric matrix, it places a prior over metrics, updates it with pairwise similarity or label constraints, and yields a posterior distribution that quantifies uncertainty about which metric best captures the true structure of the data.	Bayesian few-shot learning combines Bayesian inference with meta-learning to enable a model to generalize from as few as one to five labeled examples per class. By treating task-specific parameters as random variables and learning an informative prior across many training tasks, the method produces calibrated uncertainty estimates alongside predictions — a key advantage over deterministic few-shot learners.
