Applying Combination Strategies in Prompt Ensembling

An ensembling technique is used to improve the reliability of a language model's answer to the question, 'What is the capital of Australia?'. The model generates the following three candidate answers from three different prompts:

  • Candidate 1: 'The capital of Australia is Canberra.'
  • Candidate 2: 'Canberra is the capital city of Australia.'
  • Candidate 3: 'Sydney is the capital of Australia.'

Analyze the likely final output if the system uses the following two distinct combination strategies. Provide a brief justification for each.

  1. A strict majority voting method (where only identical answers count as a vote).
  2. A method that selects the candidate sharing the most content overlap with the others.
