Context-Adaptive Inference: A Unified Statistical and Foundation-Model View
情境自适应推断:统计与基础模型的统一视角
Modern predictive systems are expected to adapt their behavior to the specific situation they are facing. A clinical model should not treat every patient the same; a retrieval-augmented model should change its answer when given different evidence; a mixture-of-experts model should route different inputs to different experts. We call this capability context-adaptive inference: before predicting, the system uses information about the current context to specialize its…
