A researcher from BIMSA, Wang Yaqing, argues that the Scaling Law paradigm in AI is hitting its limits due to data scarcity and high computational costs. She proposes "Data-Efficient Agentic Learning" (DEAL) as the next frontier, drawing parallels to human intelligence which leverages prior knowledge from genetics, culture, and experience. Her work synthesizes advancements from few-shot learning and meta-learning to in-context learning, suggesting that large models implicitly perform meta-learning through their architecture and vast training data. AI
IMPACT Suggests a shift from compute-intensive scaling to data-efficient methods, potentially enabling AI in data-scarce domains like drug discovery and personalized recommendations.
