Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for chain-of-thought prompting have limitations . arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning tasks are challenging . |
| Approach: | They propose a method that unifies diverse solution paths into a consistent reasoning pattern. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods by 2.8% on reasoning tasks. |
Plan-and-Solve Prompting: Improving Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought Reasoning by Large Language Models (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) have recently been shown to deliver impressive performance in various NLP tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a plan-and-solve (PS) prompting that includes a few manual steps to generate reasoning steps and improves the quality of generated reasoning steps. |
| Outcome: | The proposed strategy outperforms Zero-shot-CoT on ten reasoning problems and has comparable performance to 8-shot CoT prompting on the math reasoning problem. |
In-Context Learning with Iterative Demonstration Selection (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing literature has highlighted the importance of selecting examples that are diverse or semantically similar to the test sample . Existing studies have shown that the optimal selection dimension, i.e., diversity or similarity, is task-specific. |
| Approach: | They propose to use zero-shot chain-of-thought reasoning to iteratively select examples that are diverse but still strongly correlated with the test sample as ICL demonstrations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing demonstration selection methods on reasoning, question answering, and topic classification tasks. |
