Title: Context Tuning for In-Context Optimization

Abstract:
arXiv:2507.04221v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Context Tuning, a simple and effective method to significantly enhance few-shot adaptation of large language models (LLMs) without weight updates. In-Context Learning (ICL) forms a memory representation of the demonstrations in a single forward pass but cannot refine it when insufficient. Prompt-based methods offer lightweight adaptation by optimizing a trainable prompt or prefix but initialize it independently of the demonst
