Simplifying Task Descriptions by Deletion
A method for simplifying task descriptions is to delete redundant or non-essential words and phrases. This can be achieved by defining heuristics to identify what can be removed, or by systematically examining each token's contribution to the overall meaning and eliminating those with minimal value. The goal is to retain only the core information necessary for the task.
