Few-Shot Learning

The ability to learn from very few examples, enabling quick adaptation to new tasks.

In more detail

Few-shot learning allows models to perform new tasks with minimal training examples (few examples) or zero examples (zero-shot). LLMs excel at in-context learning: learning from examples in the prompt. This enables rapid task adaptation without retraining.

Examples

  • In-context learning with LLMs
  • Few-shot image classification
  • Zero-shot text classification
  • One-shot learning
