Learning to Adapt Large Language Models to One-Shot In-Context Intent Classification on Unseen Domains

Abstract
In this paper, we explore one-shot in-context intent classification using large language models (LLMs) with the goal of minimizing the effort required to adapt models to unseen domains. To enhance the one-shot in-context learning capabilities of LLMs, we employ in-context tuning, leveraging its cross-domain transferability to unseen domains.To this end, we introduce the IC-collection, a compilation of open-source intent classification datasets from diverse domains, which are meticulously divided into held-in and held-out datasets.Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, showing that our model, with only 7B parameters, not only outperforms GPT-4 on intent classification but also achieves state-of-the-art in unseen domains with only one-shot demonstrations.Both our benchmark and model will be made publicly available to advance research in the chatbot systems.- Anthology ID:
