Few-Shot Learning
A machine learning technique where a model learns new tasks using only a small number of labeled examples.
What is Few-Shot Learning?
Few-shot learning is designed to help models adapt when large amounts of labeled training data are unavailable. Instead of requiring thousands of examples, the model uses a limited set of demonstrations to understand the task or recognize new patterns. In large language models, few-shot prompting provides several examples within the prompt to guide the model toward the expected type of response.
Why is Few-Shot Learning Important?
Collecting and labeling large datasets can be expensive and time-consuming. Few-shot learning enables AI systems to adapt to new tasks with fewer examples, making model development more efficient and useful in areas where training data is limited.
Common use cases
Few-shot learning is commonly used in language models, text classification, image recognition, prompt engineering, information extraction, and specialized AI applications.
