New framework optimizes language model prompts via simulation

Researchers have developed a novel framework for optimizing prompts used to guide language models. This two-stage approach first expands an initial set of prompts into a vector-represented candidate set. In the second stage, it constructs a surrogate model to predict prompt scores, enabling efficient selection of prompts for evaluation under a limited computational budget. The method aims to maximize task scores for a fixed language model, outperforming baseline prompt selection techniques, especially when prompt evaluation resources are constrained. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient development and deployment of language models by reducing the computational cost of prompt engineering.

    Budgeted Prompt-Set Expansion and Refinement for Language Models via Simulation Optimization

    arXiv:2404.08164v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A prompt is an instruction or description provided by the user to guide a generative language model toward outputs that meet application requirements. When these requirements change, existing prompts may need to be adapted and i…
