• Abstract: Pre-trained large language models (LLM) have emerged as a powerful tool for simulating various scenarios and generating output given specific instructions and multimodal input. In this work, we analyze the specific use of LLM to enhance a classical supervised machine learning method for classification problems. We propose a few approaches to integrate LLM into a classical machine learning estimator to further enhance the prediction performance. We examine the performance of the proposed approaches through both standard supervised learning binary classification tasks, and a transfer learning task where the test data observe distribution changes compared to the training data. Numerical experiments using four publicly available datasets are conducted and suggest that using LLM to enhance classical machine learning estimators can provide significant improvement on prediction performance.

  Large language models (LLMs) are capable of selecting the most predictive features, with performance rivaling the standard tools of data science. Our findings suggest that LLMs may be useful not only for selecting the best features for training but also for deciding which features to collect in the first place.

  This paper investigates whether the pattern recognition and sequence modeling capabilities of LLMs can be extended to the domain of knowledge tracing. We compare two approaches to using LLMs for this task, zero-shot prompting and model fine-tuning, with existing, non-LLM approaches to knowledge tracing. While LLM-based approaches do not achieve state-of-the-art performance, fine-tuned LLMs surpass the performance of naive baseline models and perform on par with standard Bayesian Knowledge Tracing approaches.

  We show that prompt-based large language models can operate effectively as weak learners. We incorporate these models into a boosting approach, which can leverage the knowledge within the model to outperform traditional tree-based boosting. Results illustrate the potential for prompt-based LLMs to function not just as few-shot learners themselves, but as components of larger machine learning pipelines.

  We propose Model-Agnostic Multitask Fine-tuning (MAMF) for vision-language models on unseen tasks. Compared with model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), MAMF discards the bi-level optimization and uses only first-order gradients. We show that MAMF consistently outperforms the classical fine-tuning method for few-shot transfer learning on five benchmark datasets.

Using zeroth order optimization and multi-label mapping techniques, BAR can reprogram a black-box ML model solely based on its input-output responses. BAR outperforms state-of-the-art methods and yields comparable performance to the vanilla adversarial reprogramming method.
