BTZSC: A Benchmark for Zero-Shot Text Classification Across Cross-Encoders, Embedding Models, and Rerankers

Zero-shot text classification (ZSC) offers the promise of eliminating costly task-specific annotation by matching texts directly to human-readable label descriptions. While early approaches have predominantly relied on cross-encoder models fine-tuned for natural language inference (NLI), recent adva…
