| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to convert natural language (NL) instructions into structured business process automation (BPA) process artifacts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large language models to convert natural language (NL) instructions into structured business process automation (BPA) process artifacts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to translate NL into Python and convert it into widely adopted business process definition languages. |

Rahul Atul Bhope, Praveen Venkateswaran, K. R. Jayaram, Vatche Isahagian, Vinod Muthusamy, Nalini Venkatasubramanian
| Challenge: | In-context-learning (ICL) is fragile and requires a lot of examples to perform. |
| Approach: | They propose a purely inference-time, dataset-free optimization method that efficiently determines the best example order. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves in-context-learning accuracy by 5.5 - 10.5 percentage points across multiple tasks. |

| Challenge: | Existing large language models (LLMs) are brittle to input changes and can produce inconsistent results for the same inputs. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large language models to reason about complex goals and orchestrate a set of pluggable tools or APIs to accomplish a goal. |
| Outcome: | The proposed use cases have many open problems in an exciting area of NLP research, such as trust and explainability, consistency and reproducibility, and the need for new metrics and benchmarks. |
API-BLEND: A Comprehensive Corpora for Training and Benchmarking API LLMs (2024.acl-long)

Kinjal Basu, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Subhajit Chaudhury, Soham Dan, Maxwell Crouse, Asim Munawar, Vernon Austel, Sadhana Kumaravel, Vinod Muthusamy, Pavan Kapanipathi, Luis Lastras
| Challenge: | Existing methods to train and test large language models that involve calls to tools and APIs are lacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a large corpora for training and systematic testing of tool-augmented LLMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed datasets mimic real-world scenarios involving API-tasks and slot filling. |
