NLP
Zero-Shot Learning
An AI that can perform a task it was never explicitly trained on, just by understanding the instruction in natural language.
Definition
The ability of a model to perform a task without having seen any examples of that specific task during training. The model generalizes from its pre-training knowledge to handle novel instructions.
Why it matters
