Few-shot and zero-shot learning allow models to adapt to new tasks with minimal or no labeled examples.

The tendency for a behavior that has been reinforced in one situation to occur in similar, but different, situations. Generalization is the opposite of discrimination. For example, a young child's saying "Daddy" in presence of father has been reinforced. This response may generalize to other men. That is, the child will have the tendency to say "Daddy" when in the presence of the mailman, milkman, or uncle. The greater the similarity between father and these other men, the greater the likelihood of generalization. This response will eventually be emitted only in the presence of father, owing to the discrimination training procedure. 3, record 11, English, - generalization

Comme le chien se mettait de nouveau à saliver, Pavlov a supposé que l'animal avait « généralisé » sa réponse à un nouveau stimulus semblable au cercle. Mais quand Pavlov a continué à présenter le cercle avec la nourriture et l'ellipse sans nourriture, le chien a appris à « discriminer » (distinguer) les deux stimuli et à ne saliver qu'à la vue du cercle.
