We organized the paper by first defining and explaining our model whilst linking its several compo-nents to related work. Then in the following section we briefly elaborate on some of the related work to the task and our model. In Section 4 we describe both our general setup and the experiments we performed, demonstrating strong results on one-shot learning on a variety of tasks and setups.
