A Prompting Framework to Enhance Language Model Output

This research investigates the role of prompt engineering in enhancing the performance and generalisation of large-scale language models (LLMs) across a wide range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. The study introduces a comprehensive framework for prompt engineering, titled the "PERFECT" framework, and evaluates its effectiveness across different tasks and domains. The research findings underscore the pivotal role of advanced prompting techniques in eliciting more nuanced and flexible responses from AI models. The study also explores the future implications of prompt engineering, including the integration of reinforcement learning with human feedback, the emergence of prompt engineering as a new job market, and the rise of context-aware and interactive prompts. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the principles, mechanisms, and best practices in prompt engineering, with practical implications for improving LLM performance and reducing the barrier to entry for new adoptees through using prompting frameworks. The research aims have been largely achieved, providing a new framework for prompting while also exploring future advancements. However, the study also highlights the need for further exploration of the constraints placed on current prompting techniques, such as token size and context window.
