Choice of prompt engineering methods

[ijyliu]

Table to consider

Popular, easy, and powerful:

• Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought (Original)
• APE Improved Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought

Popular, moderately hard, powerful

• Tree-of-thought (maybe with the prompt-only version allowed, as I could only find a sudoku solver implementation with code and that was task specific)

Less popular, easy, less powerful

• Self-refine
• Least-to-most prompting

Popular basic methods:

• Manual few shot
• Manual (few-shot) chain-of-thought

With these we will get a good representation of the biggest methods. GSM8K and Last Letter have been used as datasets for a good chunk of them.

If time allows:

• Automatic chain-of-thought
