A model's ability to perform tasks it wasn't explicitly trained on, using only task descriptions or examples.
Zero-shot learning leverages pre-trained knowledge to handle new tasks without additional training. Large language models excel at this through prompt engineering.
GPT-3 translating to languages not in training
CLIP matching images to unseen concepts
ChatGPT solving novel reasoning tasks
A model's ability to learn from a small number of examples, typically 1-10 examples per class.
The practice of designing effective text prompts to guide large language models toward desired outputs.
A neural network with billions of parameters trained on massive text datasets to understand and generate human language.
