Abstract
With the recent renaissance of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), encouraging breakthroughs have been achieved on the supervised recognition tasks, where each class has sufficient and fully annotated training data. However, to scale the recognition to a large number of classes with few or no training samples for each class remains an unsolved problem. One approach is to develop models capable of recognizing unseen categories without any training instances, or zero-shot recognition/learning. This article provides a comprehensive review of existing zero-shot recognition techniques covering various aspects ranging from representations of models, data sets, and evaluation settings. We also overview related recognition tasks including one-shot and open-set recognition, which can be used as natural extensions of zero-shot recognition when a limited number of class samples become available or when zero-shot recognition is implemented in a real-world setting. We highlight the limitations of existing approaches and point out future research directions in this existing new research area.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
