New framework uses LLM-generated knowledge for efficient zero-shot text classification

Researchers have developed SLKR (Semantic Label Knowledge Retrieval), a novel framework for zero-shot text classification that leverages a flagship LLM to generate label definitions and retrieval keywords. This offline knowledge construction process, which operates on the label space rather than the entire corpus, amortizes the cost of using powerful models. For online inference, a lightweight LLM uses retrieved definitions and rules to classify text efficiently, achieving strong results on multiple benchmarks with compact input contexts and no task-specific labeled examples. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly reduce the cost and latency of large-scale data labeling by enabling efficient zero-shot classification.

    Label-Centric Knowledge Retrieval for Zero-Shot Text Classification

    arXiv:2610.16182v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flagship large language models (LLMs) offer rich general knowledge and strong reasoning capabilities, but their high inference cost and latency limit their use for large-scale data labeling. We study zero-shot text classification wi…
