用博弈论方法评估示范样本贡献，提升大模型少样本学习效果
DemoShapley: Valuation of Demonstrations for In-Context Learning
- 基于博弈论的边际贡献评估，量化每个示范的作用
- 在低数据场景下性能优于现有方法，错误样本识别率提升12%
- 适合需要高效示范筛选的少样本学习场景
大型语言模型（LLMs）在不进行任务特定微调的情况下，可通过上下文学习（ICL）完成多项任务。然而，示范样本的选择与排序对ICL效果影响显著。为此，我们提出DemoShapley，一种基于谢帕利值的方法，通过测量不同提示排列下每个示范的边际影响来评估其贡献。为更好适应ICL的有限上下文窗口和常见低资源设置，我们进一步引入加权扩展版本Beta-DemoShapley，强调小提示规模下的影响。多基准测试结果表明，DemoShapley始终优于现有基于影响的筛选策略，而Beta-DemoShapley在低样本场景下表现更优。两种方法还能检测错误标注数据、提升对分布外任务的泛化能力，并降低人口统计偏差。二者共同构成一个统一且稳健的示范价值评估框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning (ICL) excel in many tasks without task-specific fine-tuning. However, demonstration selection and ordering greatly impact ICL effectiveness. Focus on this issue, we propose DemoShapley, a Shapley-value based method that evaluates each demonstration's contribution by measuring its marginal effect across different prompt permutations. To further account for ICL's limited context windows and frequent low-shot settings, we introduce Beta-DemoShapley, a weighted extension that emphasizes the influence of smaller prompt sizes. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that DemoShapley consistently outperforms existing influence-based selection strategies, while Beta-DemoShapley further improves performance in low-shot scenarios. Both methods also detect mislabeled data, enhance generalization to out-of-distribution tasks, and reduce demographic bias. Together, they provide a unified and robust framework for demonstration valuation in ICL.
