Learning to generalize to new tasks/domains with limited data by Peng, Danni

“…The goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research is to develop a system that not only performs tasks comparably to humans (e.g., understanding language and vision) but also learns new tasks similarly to humans. While the former has been well-achieved with the recent advances of large AI models, the latter still remains a challenge for AI researchers. …”
