[R] Many-Shot In-Context Learning

**Paper**: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.11018](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.11018)

**Abstract**:

>Large language models (LLMs) excel at few-shot in-context learning (ICL) -- learning from a few examples provided in context at inference, without any weight updates. Newly expanded context windows allow us to investigate ICL with hundreds or thousands of examples -- the many-shot regime. Going from few-shot to many-shot, we observe significant performance gains across a wide variety of generative and discriminative tasks. While promising, many-shot ICL can be bottlenecked by the available amount of human-generated examples. …
