Humans are capable of learning new concepts from only a few (labeled) exemplars, incrementally and continually. This happens within the context that we can differentiate among the exemplars, and between the exemplars and large amounts of…
Test-time training (TTT) enhances model performance by explicitly updating designated parameters prior to each prediction to adapt to the test data. While TTT has demonstrated considerable empirical success, its theoretical underpinnings…
