For example it&amp;#x27;s pretty common to use unsupervised learning to build embeddings for each target language, align the embeddings somehow (noting that you don&amp;#x27;t have labels, so you are using the multi-dimensional shapes within the embeddings to try to match them) and then finally test against labelled data (the zero-shot thing). Zero shot, cross modal transfer is something humans do really well. You can read a description of a Platypus and then label it…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1301.3666/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

I can&amp;#x27;t point at a paper, but Andrej Karpathy demo of generating Shakespere-like writing, &amp;quot;Wikipedia&amp;quot; pages and &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; code in The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks[3] is the kind of thing I&amp;#x27;m talking about.
