Few-shot semantic segmentation aims to learn to segment unseen class objects with the guidance of only a few support images.

Most previous methods rely on the pixel-level label of support images.

In this paper … focus on a more challenging setting, in which only the image-level labels are available.

… propose a general framework to firstly generate coarse masks with the help of the powerful vision-language model CLIP, and then iteratively and mutually refine the mask predictions of support and query images.

… method not only outperforms the state-of-the-art weakly supervised approaches by a significant margin, but also achieves comparable or better results to recent supervised methods.

… method owns an excellent generalization ability for the images in the wild and uncommon classes …
