In-context learning emerges across diverse AI modalities, study finds

Researchers have explored the phenomenon of in-context learning (ICL), where AI models infer patterns from provided examples to solve new tasks. While extensively studied in large language models, ICL has also been observed in genomic models. To investigate if ICL is a broad phenomenon across different domains, a framework was developed to test tasks across six modalities: language, genome, integer sequences, time series, images, and proteins. The study found that ICL emerges in these modalities and shows correlated difficulty profiles across many of them, supporting the Convergent Emergence Hypothesis. AI

IMPACT Suggests in-context learning may be a general capability of AI systems, potentially influencing future model architectures and training strategies.

    Convergent Emergence of In-Context Learning Across Modalities

    arXiv:2609.14011v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Few-shot in-context learning (ICL), the capacity of a model to infer abstract patterns from input-output examples provided in its prompt and apply them to new inputs, has been extensively studied in large language models trained for…
