Few-Shot Learning

Few-Shot Learning lets an AI model perform a new task after seeing only a handful of examples, often provided directly in the prompt as demonstrations. The technique was popularized by the GPT-3 paper in 2020, which showed that simply including a few input-output pairs in the prompt could dramatically improve performance on tasks the model had never been explicitly trained for. Typical few-shot prompts include 3-10 examples followed by the new query. The technique works for classification (sentiment, intent, topic), structured extraction (pull entities from text), formatting conversions, and many other tasks. Tools like LangChain and LlamaIndex have first-class support for few-shot prompt templates. It is a powerful enterprise AI technique that still requires AI governance review — the examples themselves can introduce bias, leak proprietary data into model providers, or accidentally include personally identifiable information. AI ethics and AI compliance considerations are central to responsible AI use of few-shot prompts.
