Few-shot image generation has important application value in fields such as medical imaging and artistic creation. In recent years, significant research progress has been made in this task, with mainstream approaches typically relying on transferring generative models pretrained on large-scale source domain datasets to target domains to mitigate data-scarcity challenges. However, when substantial semantic gaps exist between source and target domains, direct transfer often introduced incompatible source-specific features, degrading image realism and style consistency. Although existing methods have removed redundant features via static pruning strategies, such as fixed-threshold filter pruning, they struggle to adapt to the dynamic evolution of features across different layers of deep networks, often resulting in the mistaken removal of general low-level features while retaining redundant high-level ones, thereby affecting the adaptation performance and generation quality of the model. To address this, a dynamic pruning method based on filter-importance estimation was proposed. Specifically, the method continuously tracked the changes in Fisher information of each layer’s filters during training to evaluate their importance for image generation quality. Based on the Fisher information, a cumulative importance weight-based adaptive pruning mechanism was constructed to dynamically determine the pruning ratio for each layer, enabling more precise removal of redundant or incompatible filters while preserving general structural semantic information. Experiments were conducted on several representative few-shot target domains, and results showed that the proposed method significantly outperformed existing approaches in terms of image quality (Frechet Inception Distance, FID) and image diversity (Intra-domain Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity, Intra-LPIPS). In target domains exhibiting significant semantic differences from the source domain, the proposed method achieved superior FID scores compared with the current state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating its stability and superiority for cross-domain few-shot image generation tasks.
