Few-Shot Text Classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Few-Shot Text Classification

Few-shot text classification assigns documents to classes using only a handful of labelled examples per class. Building on advances by Gao et al. (2021) and the prompt-free SetFit approach of Tunstall et al. (2022), it leans on prototypical networks, MAML, or fine-tuning of a large pretrained model to learn from scarce labels.
