Prompt Engineering: A new paradigm for ML development
Prompt Processing※
If the information in the prompt itself is insufficient or difficult for AI to
interpret
Processing such as changing the way prompting is given
Few-shot Learning
Provide some example answers to the question at the prompt,
A method of learning the answer format and behavior by prompting.
Accuracy improvements may also be seen in several levels of examples.
ReAct
Not only linguistic generation from internal information, Dynamically
recognize the required task from the prompt, The idea is to obtain
information (grounding) using external APIs such as search and calculation,
add that information, and return an answer.
Chain of Thought
(CoT)
In large-scale language models, by giving a step-by-step thinking process,
The ability to solve even difficult problems.
ReAct and Self Consistency also carry on the CoT concept.
Recursively Criticizes
and Improves (RCI)
let GPT itself examine and correct the output of GPT.
The output is brushed up by repeated execution.
In particular, it is often used to operate programming code.

prompt
Get additional information.
2 Text completion
Also done by Bing and others, make text completion and
suggestions so that subjects and objects are not missing.
3
Non-English
Utilization
Translate the context information behind the scenes into
English, Convert input as English in the backend (in
System Prompt).
Conversion to a programming language called PAL
(Program-Aided Language Model) is also effective.
4
Prompts
using Templates
Make specific information easier to understand
Embed input in a predefined template
5 GPT Calibration
Before letting GPT answer, first make the sentence easy
for GPT to interpret.
Incorporate steps to make GPT correct.
6 Non-text chat
Input by voice recognition
Traditional UI (drop-down list, radio button, checkbox)

make lunch and bought 6 more, how many apples do they
have?
user
The cafeteria originally had 23 apples. They used 20 to make
lunch and bought 6 more. Therefore, they have: 3 + 6 = 9 apples
now.

Choices for document search
There are two main cases in which GPT searches for necessary information. There are various theories about the
accuracy of the search, and it depends on the dataset.
Vector stores require more effort to calculate similarity and extract document information, but they can be
simpler and faster.

The importance of LLMs pipeline design
Since GPT is often not a single call, What to let GPT do, in what order to run,
It is necessary to assume at the time of design, such as what prompt should be given at that time.

34
Libraries used to LLMs development
LangChain
A library that supports LLM development
API call wrappers and prompt templates and memory
functions,
Various advanced functions such as agents that automate
ReAct are implemented.
Semantic Kernel
Announced by Microsoft as OSS. (C# and Python)
Generate dynamic task pipelines like ReAct.
Can also be integrated into pipelines.
Also has basic functions such as templates, embedded base
memory.
LlmaIndex
It corresponds to the memory function of LangChain and
Semantic Kernel.
Be careful with production purpose.

36
What is LangChain
• Typical Query process
• Create an embedding for the query
• Find the most similar documents in the embeddings
• Pass those documents, along with the original query,
into a language model to generate an answer
• References:
• https://blog.langchain.dev/langchain-chat/

37
What is LangChain
• Framework built around LLMs
• Models (LLMs, Chat Models, Text
Embedding Models)
• Prompt templates
• Indexes
• Text Splitters, Vectorstores,
Retrievers, Document Loaders
• Memory
• Chains
• Agents
• References:

Reference:
https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/getting_started/getting_started.html
Combine LLMs and prompts in multi-step workflows
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.9)
prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["product"],
template="What is a good name for a company that makes
{product}?", )
from langchain.chains import LLMChain
chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt)
chain.run("colorful socks")
# -> 'nnSocktastic!'

44
Prompt Templates
Reference:
Manage prompts for LLMs
{product}?", )
print(prompt.format(product="colorful socks"))
What is a good name for a company that makes colorful socks?
