The Prompt Report: A Systematic Survey of Prompting Techniques "The Prompt Report," is the result of an extensive study analyzing over 1,500 academic papers on prompting conducted by a team of researchers from leading institutions. It introduces a structured taxonomy of 58 prompting techniques organized into six categories, highlighting effective strategies such as Few-Shot and Chain-of-Thought prompting. Additionally, the report discusses the importance of In-Context Learning and assesses the performance of various prompting techniques while offering insights into future challenges and developments in human-AI interactions. Key Points - A systematic analysis resulted in the creation of "The Prompt Report," detailing over 58 prompting techniques within a comprehensive 80-page document. - The report categorizes prompting techniques into six problem-solving areas, enabling users to identify and apply the best methods for their tasks. - In-Context Learning (ICL) allows language models to perform tasks based on examples within prompts, emphasizing the power of Few-Shot techniques. - Effective prompt design hinges on various factors including the quality, quantity, and format of examples used in prompts. - Benchmarking results reveal Few-Shot Chain-of-Thought techniques as superior for reasoning tasks, while Self-Consistency is less effective than anticipated. - Comparisons show that AI-driven prompt engineering tools can outperform manual efforts, highlighting advancements in automated prompting techniques. - The report addresses future challenges in prompting, including prompt drift, multilingual applications, and integrating multimodal inputs. https://learnprompting.org/blog/the_prompt_report https://huggingface.co/papers/2406.06608 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381318099_The_Prompt_Report_A_Systematic_Survey_of_Prompting_Techniques #PromptReport #PromptEngineering #InContextLearning #FewShotLearning #ChainOfThought #PromptingTechniques #AI #NLP #LanguageModels #HumanAIInteraction #PromptDrift #MultilingualAI #LearnPrompting #AISurvey #PromptTaxonomy #SelfConsistency #PromptTools
