    What is In-Context Learning (ICL)?

    Large language models (LLMs) are capable of picking up on patterns and learning to identify named entities with a few examples, making them powerful tools for specific tasks.

    What is a prompt in ICL?

    A prompt provides a set of input-output pairs that illustrate the task at hand, allowing the LLM to learn from these examples during a specific interaction.

    How does ICL differ from traditional training?

    Unlike traditional model training, ICL doesn't permanently update the LLM's knowledge base. The 'learned' information only persists within the current conversation and doesn't carry over to future interactions.

    What is a tagset?

    A tagset is a collection of symbols or labels used to annotate parts of speech (POS) in text. For example, the Treebank tagset uses 'NN' for nouns, 'VB' for verbs, and 'JJ' for adjectives.

    What is recall in classification?

    Recall, also known as sensitivity, measures the proportion of correctly identified positive examples out of all actual positive examples (true positives + false negatives). High recall implies that the model correctly identifies most of the positive cases.
