Wei and colleagues: chain-of-thought prompting

Showed that few-shot prompts containing intermediate reasoning steps improved reported performance of sufficiently large language models on arithmetic, commonsense and symbolic-reasoning benchmarks.

What is recorded here?

Showed that few-shot prompts containing intermediate reasoning steps improved reported performance of sufficiently large language models on arithmetic, commonsense and symbolic-reasoning benchmarks.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact nine-author NeurIPS 2022 paper. Results are model-, prompt- and benchmark-specific; generated rationales are not proofs of faithful internal reasoning, factuality, safety or universal task improvement.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
