Zero-Shot Learning
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A model can correctly recognize or process a category without having seen any samples (training data) of that category, relying solely on descriptions or reasoning about the category. Scaffold role: transfer and reasoning ability. A measure of a person's talent is not what they have practiced, but whether they can handle problems they have never seen. True liberal education aims to cultivate the ability of zero-shot learning.
