Getting Started with Zero-Shot Text Classification

# Zero-Shot Text Classification, Explained Imagine being able to sort emails into categories without having to show the system hundreds of examples first—that's what zero-shot text classification does. Instead of training a system on your specific problem, you can use an AI model that's already been trained on general knowledge to instantly categorize text into whatever groups you define. It's faster and cheaper than building a custom system, which makes it practical for businesses that need sorting done quickly without a big upfront investment.
Zero-shot text classification is a way to label text without first training a classifier on your own task-specific dataset.
