It is much better to try to figure out the meaning of a new word than to look it up in the dictionary. It is a more natural way to learn vocabulary. Even if you guess the meaning incorrectly, you are forming a good habit and learning a more natural way to learn.The key idea of in-context learning is to learn from analogy. Figure1gives an example describ- ing how language models make decisions with ICL. First, ICL requires a few examples to form a demon- stration context. These examples are usually writ- ten in natural language templates.Few-shot fine-tuning and in-context learning are two alternative strategies for task adaptation of pre-trained language models.
