What is zero-shot learning and how does it compare to traditional learning methods?

Zero-shot learning is a machine learning approach where a model can recognize objects it hasn't seen before, using knowledge from related tasks. In contrast, traditional learning requires training on labeled examples of each class.

Can you give me an example of zero-shot learning in action?

Sure! An example would be a model trained to identify animals. If it learns to recognize cats and dogs, it might still identify a horse by understanding it as a 'four-legged animal' without having seen a horse before.

What are the advantages of using zero-shot learning?

The main advantages include reduced need for labeled data, faster adaptation to new tasks, and the ability to generalize knowledge across different domains.

Are there any limitations to zero-shot learning?

Yes, limitations include potential inaccuracies if the related tasks are too dissimilar and challenges in understanding complex relationships without prior examples.
