Categorization of Prompting Techniques

A user wants a large language model to write a short, professional biography for a software engineer. The user's initial input is: 'Write about Alex Doe.' The model's output is generic and unhelpful. Which of the following revised inputs best demonstrates an effective technique for guiding the model to produce the desired output?

A development team is using a pre-trained large language model to build a chatbot for customer support. They observe that the model's responses, while fluent, do not consistently adhere to the company's specific tone and policy guidelines. To address this, the team begins a process of methodically crafting and testing various instructions and examples as inputs to guide the model's output, without altering the model's internal weights. This process involves numerous cycles of adjusting the input text to achieve the desired response quality. Which discipline best describes the team's primary activity?

Inefficiency of Long Prompts in Repetitive Tasks

Discrete Prompts (Hard Prompts)

A software developer is building an application to categorize thousands of user feedback messages per day. For each message, the system sends a large language model the same complex, multi-sentence instruction that defines the categories and provides examples, followed by the user's message. Based on the inherent structure of this interaction method, what is the most significant underlying problem with this design?

Evaluating a Novel Prompting Method

A key challenge in using natural language to guide large models is that the instructions can be problematic. Match each distinct type of problem with its corresponding description.
