Zero-shot Learning
An AI model's ability to perform tasks or answer questions it wasn't explicitly trained on, using only its general knowledge.
Understanding Zero-shot Learning
Zero-shot learning allows AI to generalize to new situations without specific examples. This is how AI can discuss your product even if it wasn't in training data—by inferring from related information. For AI visibility, zero-shot capabilities mean AI systems can form opinions about your brand from indirect signals. Ensuring consistent, clear messaging across your content helps AI make accurate zero-shot inferences.
