Few-shot Learning (FSL)
Teaching a model a task by showing it a handful of worked examples. In its modern form, few-shot prompting, no weights are updated at all.
Meta-Learning
Learning to learn: training a model across thousands of tiny tasks so it adapts from a handful of examples — and how that differs from fine-tuning.
One-shot Learning
Learning a new class from exactly one example — and the split that matters: one-shot prompting updates no weights; classical one-shot training does.
Self-Improving AI (SIAI)
Self-improving AI (SIAI) is a system that upgrades its own capabilities. Real today only in narrow forms like self-play; the recursive version is speculative.
