Researchers have demonstrated that Google's Gemini model can be adapted to classify astronomical events like exploding stars with high accuracy using a few-shot learning approach. By providing Gemini with just 15 annotated examples per survey and concise instructions, the model achieved 93% accuracy across three datasets. This method not only matches the performance of specialized models but also allows Gemini to provide textual explanations for its classifications, addressing a key bottleneck in astronomical data analysis.
