NYU, Facebook & CIFAR Present ‘True Few-Shot Learning’ for Language Models Whose Few-Shot Ability They Say Is Overestimated

A research team from New York University, Facebook AI, and a CIFAR Fellow in Learning in Machines & Brains raise doubts regarding large-scale pretrained language models’ few-shot learning abilities. The researchers re-evaluate such abilities with held-out examples unavailable, which they propose constitutes “true few-shot learning.”
