Personalizing black-box models for nonparametric regression with minimax optimality
arXiv:2601.01432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large-scale models, including deep neural networks and large language models, have substantially improved performance across a wide range of learning tasks. The widespread availability of such pre-trained models creates new opportunities for data-efficient statistical learning, provided they can be effectively integrated into downstream tasks. Motivated by this setting, we study few-shot personalization, where a pre-trained black-box model is adapted to a target domain using a limited number of samples. We […]
