Ask Me Anything: A simple strategy for prompting language models.
This paper proposes "Ask Me Anything" (AMA), a prompting method that uses weak supervision to combine noisy predictions from multiple prompts generated from an LLM, resulting in an average 10.2% performance lift over the few-shot baseline across a variety of different open-source models.

Contrastive Adapters for Foundation Model Group Robustness
The authors propose Contrastive Adapting, an efficient adapter training strategy that improves the group robustness of large pretrained foundation models (FMs) without finetuning, leading to up to 56.0 percentage points of increase in accuracy compared to zero-shot.

Tight Lower Bounds on Worst-Case Guarantees for Zero-Shot Learning with Attributes
This paper demonstrates a mathematical analysis of zero-shot learning with attributes, providing a tight lower bound on the worst-case error of the best map from attributes to classes and showing that this bound is predictive of how standard zero-shot methods behave in practice.
