-Case study

Let's look at a case study on how the Prompt Learning Method could be used to create a chatbot from
scratch.

Problem: We have a significant volume of user questions related to travel destinations,

recommendations, itineraries and tips. We need to address this problem to provide our users with
useful information and improve their experience.

Examine relevant information: We analyzed the user queries we have collected. We observed that
the most frequent queries include requests for travel recommendations, details about specific tourist
sites, and travel planning tips. We also investigated existing travel chatbots, assessing their ability to
provide accurate and useful information.

Propose a solution: Based on our analysis, we decided to create a chatbot using ChatGPT that
can answer user questions related to travel and tourist destinations. We designed an initial prompt:
"You are a tourism expert who knows the whole world. A customer interested in learning about travel
destinations asks you a question. Answer his question in a useful and informative way: USER_INPUT".

36

Adjust the solution: We test our initial directions with a small group of users and collect their feedback.
Based on their feedback, we realize that our Prompt needs to be more engaging and less formal: "You
are a tourism expert who knows everyone. A customer interested in learning about tourist destinations
asks you a question. Answer their question in a useful, friendly and informative way: USER_INPUT"

Launch your solution: We launch the

chatbot on our website. We continue to
monitor user interactions with the bot
and make additional adjustments as
needed.

Write an email

• Writing emails can often be a time-consuming task, especially

when it is necessary to previously review a received email. In
this section, we will explore situations ranging from sending a
simple email to notify your supervisor that you are not feeling
well to drafting more elaborate emails to prospective clients
with whom you have no prior history of communication.

during my absence and to ensure a smooth workflow.

I am willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that my work is not adversely
affected during my absence, either by reassigning tasks or completing my work
before I leave.

I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. I remain at your

disposal to discuss any further details and to ensure that this absence does not
cause unnecessary inconvenience.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your attention to

Place: My house (we haven't moved it since the last time you came!)

The plan is simple: I provide the barbecue and you bring the drinks. The rule?
The most creative drink wins a special prize (I haven't decided what it is yet, but
it'll be great!).

Don't worry about gifts, your presence is more than enough (although I will
accept cakes, just in case).

So, will you do me the honor of joining me on this journey into old age? Please
confirm before [date of confirmation] so that we don't buy too much meat.

Chain of Thought

The prompting Chain of Thought (CoT) motivates the LLM to detail his or her thought process.

sense and symbolic reasoning tasks.

Google AI's PaLM 540B model stands out.

Prompt:

A: Joe started with 20 eggs. 2 cartons of 12 eggs is 24 eggs. 20+24 = 44. Therefore, Joe
has 44 eggs, and the answer is 44.

Q: Farmer John had 93 chickens. If he sold 20 to Farmer Bill and bought twice that amount,
how many chickens does Farmer John now have?

Q: Farmer John had 93 chickens. If he sold 20 of them to Farmer Bill and then bought twice
that amount, how many chickens does Farmer John now have?

AI response: A: Farmer John had 93 chickens initially. He sold 20 of them to Farmer Bill. He then bought
twice the 20 he sold, which would be 2 x 20 = 40 additional chickens. To determine how
many chickens he has now, we add the chickens he had left after selling to Farmer Bill (93 -
20 = 73) and the 40 he bought later. Therefore, Farmer John now has a total of 73 + 40 =
113 chickens.

Limitations

It is relevant to note that, chains of thought only show performance improvements when applied to
models with approximately 100 billion parameters.
In smaller models, illogical chains of thought were observed, resulting in lower accuracy compared to
using standard prompts.

In general, models tend to experience proportional improvements in performance when using the CoT

Prompt:

Can you calculate the area of a circle whose diameter is 20 cm? Let's think step by step

Of course! Let's calculate the area of a circle whose diameter is 20 cm. Let's think
step by step.

Example Step 1: Find the radius of the circle.

The radius is half the diameter. In this case, the radius would be 20cm/2 = 10 cm.

Step 2: Use the formula for the area of the circle.

The formula to calculate the area of a circle is: A=π*r², where "A" represents the area
and "r" is the radius.

AI response: Step 3: Substitute the value of the radius into the formula.
A = π*(10cm)²

Step 4: Perform the calculation.

A = π*100 cm²

Step 5: Calculate the numerical value.

A ≈ 314.16 cm²

Therefore, the area of the circle with a diameter of 20 cm is approximately 314.16

square centimeters.

 PROMPT ENGINEERING FOUNDATION PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION CPEFPC™

Self-consistency

It is an extension of CoT that produces several thought chains instead of just one, and then chooses
the most common answer as the final answer.

A prompt is created using the Few-Shot-CoT approach. With this prompt, multiple chains of thought
are generated independently. Responses are then elicited from each of these chains, and the final
answer is determined by a process of "reasoning path averaging". In practical terms, this means
selecting the answer that is most frequently encountered.

Can you explain to me which came first, the chicken or the egg? Let's think step by step.

Prompt:

The question of whether the chicken or the egg came first is a classic
philosophical and biological dilemma. Let us think step by step:

In the evolutionary process, species do not suddenly emerge in their present

form. Instead, they change gradually over time due to random genetic
mutations and natural selection.
In the context of avian evolution, the earliest ancestors of birds were not
"chickens" in the modern sense. They were primitive birds that gradually
Answer 1: evolved into what we call chickens today.
Evolution occurs over successive generations. So, if we go back far enough in
time, we come to a point where there was no "chicken" in the sense that we
know, but an ancestral species of bird.
In that case, the first egg containing a chick with the genetic characteristics we
now associate with chickens must have been laid by a bird that was not a
"chicken" in its modem form. This egg contained a genetic mutation that gave
rise to a new variant, which would eventually evolve into the first chicken.

In summary, from an evolutionary perspective, the egg containing the first

chick genetically identifiable as a hen was probably by an ancestor of
chickens, but not a hen in its present form. Therefore, the egg preceded the
chicken in terms of evolution.

78
 PROMPT ENGINEERING FOUNDATION PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION CPEFPC™

Response 2:
The question of whether the chicken or the egg came first is an enigma that
has puzzled mankind for a long time. To approach it step by step, we can
consider evolution.

1. Origin of species: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution tells us that

species evolve gradually over time. Imagine an ancestral species of birds
that, over many generations, gradually evolved into what we know today
as chickens.
2. Switch points: As this ancestral species evolved, at some point, one of
the birds in the evolutionary line had a genetic mutation. This mutation
may have affected the way its embryo developed.
3. The first chicken egg: As a result of this genetic mutation, the embryo of
this bird, which would be considered the first "chicken", developed inside
an egg with the genetic characteristics that defined a chicken. Therefore,
the first egg containing an individual that could be called a "chicken" was,
in effect, a chicken egg.

CERTIPROF® is a registered trademark of CertiProf, LLC in the United States and/or other countries.
In short, according to evolutionary theory, the egg (with the genetic
characteristics of a chicken) predated the chicken as we know it today. The
gradual evolutionary process led to the emergence of the first chicken from
earlier species, and this first chicken was born from an egg that had the
genetic characteristics that defined a chicken. Therefore, from this
perspective, the egg came first.

Response 3:

The question of whether the chicken or the egg came first is a classic
philosophical and scientific dilemma that has intrigued people for a long time.
Let's take a step-by-step look at how it is approached:

1. Origin of birds: The chicken, as we know it, is a species of bird. For a

chicken to lay an egg, there must first be a chicken. So, in this sense, the
chicken came first.
2. Origin of eggs: However, scientists explain that evolution works gradually
through small genetic mutations. This means that, at some point in
evolution, a bird that was not exactly a chicken laid an egg, and the chick
that hatched from that egg had a genetic mutation that made it the first
chicken. From this perspective, the egg came first.
3. Definition of "chicken": Here is the crux of the matter. The question itself
is based on how we define a "chicken". If we define a "chicken" as a bird
that lays chicken eggs, then the egg must have existed first for us to have
the first chicken. But if we define a "chicken" simply as a particular species
of bird, then the chicken must have existed first.

In short, it's an interesting dilemma that depends on how we define words and
how we view evolution. From a biological perspective, it is likely that the egg
came first due to the gradual evolutionary process.

Conclusion:

When asking the Chatbot three times and getting always the same answer: "the egg", and when
analyzing the three answers we found consistencies. There is a high probability of believing the answer.

symbolic reasoning tasks.

Example:
Compositional generalization
(SCAN)

The SCAN3 benchmark requires the model to convert

natural language into sequences of actions. For example,
the phrase "run left and walk twice" would translate to
"TURN_LEFT + RUN + WALK * 2". Language models
perform particularly poorly when faced with sequences
longer than those in the training set.

 PROMPT ENGINEERING FOUNDATION PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION CPEFPC™

Example:
Compositional generalization (SCAN)

ChatGPT Response:

The output of "jump around left twice after walk opposite left thrice" concatenates
several previous instructions: the output of "walk opposite left" * 3, the output of
"jump around left twice" produces "TURN LEFT" * 2 + "WALK". "jump around left
twice" produces ("TURN LEFT" + "JUMP") * 2. Then, concatenating these outputs,
we get ((TURN LEFT" * 2+ "WALK") * 3) +((TURN LEFT" + "JUMP*) * 2).

Handling Long Form Content
Dealing with long-form content can be difficult, as models have a limited context length. Let's learn
some strategies for effectively handling long-form content.

Text Preprocessing

Before passing long-form content to a language model, it is useful to preprocess the text to reduce
its length and complexity. Some strategies for preprocessing include:

• Eliminate unnecessary sections or paragraphs that are not relevant or do not contribute to the
main message. This can help prioritize the most important content.

• Summarize the text by extracting key points or using automatic summarizing techniques. This
can provide a concise overview of the main ideas.

These preprocessing steps can help reduce the length of content and improve the model's ability to
understand and generate responses.

Fragmentation and Iterative Approach

Instead of providing all long-form content to the model at once, the model can be divided into
smaller fragments or sections. These fragments can be processed individually, allowing the model
to concentrate on one specific section at a time.

An iterative approach can be taken to handle long-form content. The model can generate responses

85
 PROMPT ENGINEERING FOUNDATION PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION CPEFPC™

for each text fragment, and the generated output can serve as part of the input with the next fragment.
In this way, the conversation with the language model can progress step by step, effectively managing
the length of the conversation.

Post-processing and Response Refinement

The initial responses generated by the model may be extensive or contain unnecessary information.
It is important to perform post-processing on these responses to refine and condense them.

Some post-processing techniques include:

• Eliminate redundant or repetitive information.

• Extract the most relevant parts of the answer.
• Reorganize the response to improve clarity and consistency.
CERTIPROF® is a registered trademark of CertiProf, LLC in the United States and/or other countries.

By refining the answers, the content generated can be made more concise and easier to understand.

Use of artificial intelligence assistants with support for larger contexts

While some language models have limited context length, there are artificial intelligence assistants
such as OpenAI's GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude that support longer conversations. These
assistants can handle long-form content more effectively and provide more accurate responses
without the need for complex solutions.

Code libraries

Python libraries such as Llama Index and Langchain can be used to work with long-form content.
In particular, GPT Index can "index" content into smaller parts and then perform a vector search to
find the most relevant part of the content and use it exclusively. Langchain can perform recursive
summaries on text fragments, in which it summarizes a fragment and includes that in the prompt
with the next fragment to be summarized.

Discussion questions

With the right stimulus, GPT-3 is quite capable of writing short-format responses. To demonstrate this,
we will look at solving discussion questions, a common weekly assignment in many college courses.
A response to a discussion question is typically about 100-700 words. Longer content can be a bit
more difficult, as LLMs have limited memory and have difficulty understanding the big picture of what
they are writing.

ChatGPT as of GPT-3
ChatGPT has experienced rapid growth in popularity, attracting millions of users. Unlike its base
model, GPT-3, released earlier, ChatGPT has been optimized specifically for conversations and is
presented through an easy-to-use chat interface. This model has surpassed GPT-3 in virality due to
its accessibility to users with no data science or AI experience, making it a very successful and widely
adopted AI assistant.

• ChatGPT was trained using RLHF (Illustrating Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback)
but much of its effectiveness comes from using a good prompt.
• Prompting is the process of instructing an AI to do something.
• ChatGPT is a language model with an interface that uses past conversations to understand and
respond to users.

Memorization: Previous exchanges in a conversation between a user and a chatbot are accumulated
and incorporated into the next prompt, allowing the chatbot to remember previous entries. However,
there is a limit to the length that a prompt can reach due to the token restriction in GPT-3 models, such
as ChatGPT, which can limit the ability to remember very long conversations.

Chatbot + knowledge base

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3 and ChatGPT have generated
interest in the technology industry. These models are powerful but present challenges such as biases
and hallucinations. One of the promising uses of these LLMs is the development of chatbots.

How can GPT-3 help?

GPT-3 can help by reducing the number of

intentions by associating each with a document
in a Knowledge Base (KB). This allows for
more contextual responses and fewer specific
intentions.

LLMs have size limits for Prompt. This is due
