> the problem of building text classifiers with little or no training data.
>
> In recent years, an approach based on neural textual entailment models has been found to give strong results on a diverse range of tasks.

(cf. #[NLI](tag:nli), using the input text as the premise and the text representing the label as the hypothesis)

> In this work, we show that **with proper pre-training, Siamese Networks that embed texts and labels** offer a competitive alternative.
>
> We introduce **label tuning: fine-tuning the label embeddings only**. While giving lower performance than model fine-tuning (which updates all params of the model), this approach has the architectural advantage that a single encoder can be shared by many different tasks (we only fine-tune the label embeddings)
> The drop in quality can
be compensated by using a variant of **[Knowledge distillation](tag:knowledge_distillation)**
