Question

What does the stop sequence in few-shot learning signify?

A. the point at which the model should start generating text
B. a signal to switch from zero-shot to few-shot learning
C. a mechanism to tell the model when to stop generating text
D. the end of the training phase for the model

Answer

C. a mechanism to tell the model when to stop generating text

Explanation

In few-shot learning for generative AI models, the stop sequence acts as a signal to the model indicating when it should stop generating further text. After the model has been provided with a few examples (shots) to learn from, it generates new text based on the patterns it has observed. The stop sequence is placed at the end of the expected output in the examples, training the model to stop generating text when it encounters this specific sequence.

For instance, if a model is trained with examples where a “###” token is consistently placed at the end of the desired output, the model learns to generate text until it produces “###”, at which point it stops, as it has been conditioned to recognize this sequence as the end of the output.

By providing a clear stop sequence, the few-shot learning examples effectively communicate to the model the appropriate point to conclude its generated text, avoiding the production of irrelevant or excessive content beyond what is expected based on the given examples.
