  ## How PET Compares to Other Few-Shot NLP Approaches
  
  Unlike general-purpose libraries like Hugging Face Transformers or direct fine-tuning of models like BERT, PET offers a unique semi-supervised training procedure that reformulates input examples as cloze-style phrases. This allows it to achieve significant performance gains in low-resource settings, often outperforming supervised training and even large models like GPT-3, by effectively leveraging unlabeled data and the knowledge embedded in pre-trained language models through a pattern-exploiting mechanism. While SetFit also targets few-shot text classification, PET's cloze-question approach provides an alternative paradigm for leveraging pre-trained knowledge.
