Class Embeddings
Class embeddings represent objects or concepts as vectors in a high-dimensional space, aiming to capture semantic relationships and facilitate tasks like image classification and retrieval. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of class embeddings, particularly in low-data regimes (few-shot learning) and across diverse modalities (vision-language models), often employing techniques like contrastive learning, prompt engineering, and multimodal fusion within transformer and other neural network architectures. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like computer vision, natural language processing, and financial technology by enabling more robust and efficient classification and information retrieval systems.
