New Research Questions Correctness of AI Demonstrations in Learning

A new research paper explores the counterintuitive phenomenon in in-context learning (ICL) where correct demonstrations can sometimes decrease accuracy. The study introduces task-preserving perturbations to analyze this "correctness-utility gap," demonstrating that changes in exemplar input can alter the model's evidence mixture, leading to degraded performance. This effect is particularly pronounced in smaller models and more challenging tasks. AI

    When Correct Demonstrations Hurt: Rethinking the Role of Exemplars in In-Context Learning

    arXiv:2605.26350v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In-context learning (ICL) is often motivated by the intuition that demonstrations help because they provide correct input-output examples. However, we reveal a counterintuitive phenomenon: correctness does not guarantee exemplar u…
