Feedback Collection: The Second Step of Self-Refinement

Refinement: The Third Step of Self-Refinement

Iterative Self-Refinement Process

Deliberate-then-Generate (DTG) Method

A common framework for improving a language model's output involves a cyclical process. Arrange the following stages of this process into the correct logical order, from start to finish.

A development team is improving a news-summarizing AI. Their process is as follows:

1. The AI generates an initial summary of an article.
2. A separate automated tool critiques the summary for conciseness and factual accuracy, producing a list of issues.
3. The AI is then given the original article, its first summary, and the list of issues, and is prompted to write an improved version.

Which option correctly maps this process to the standard three-step self-refinement framework?
