Abstract: In certain examples, a zero-shot model selection mechanism is provided. N synthetic validation sets are generated (with synthetic ground truth) that are overall representative of a given task (where N is one or greater). M candidate models (or algorithms more generally) are determined that are appropriate to the given task. In a validation stage, each of the M models is applied to each of the N synthetic validation sets, and the model output is scored relative to the corresponding synthetic ground truth. This, in turn, allows a best-performing model of the M models to be determined for each of the N synthetic datasets. Having determined the best-performing candidate model for each of the N synthetic datasets, an “algorithm selector” is trained to predict which of the M candidate algorithms will perform best on a given dataset.
