[Gao et al., (2022)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10435) presents a method that uses LLMs to read natural language problems and generate programs as the intermediate reasoning steps. Coined, program-aided language models (PAL), it differs from chain-of-thought prompting in that instead of using free-form text to obtain solution it offloads the solution step to a programmatic runtime such as a Python interpreter.

Let's look at an example using LangChain and OpenAI GPT-3. We are interested to develop a simple application that's able to interpret the question being asked and provide an answer by leveraging the Python interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, we are interested to create a functionality that allows the use of the LLM to answer questions that require date understanding. We will provide the LLM a prompt that includes a few exemplars which are adopted from [here](https://github.com/reasoning-machines/pal/blob/main/pal/prompt/date_understanding_prompt.py).
|
|
|
|
These are the imports we need:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import openai
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
|
|
import os
|
|
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
|
|
from dotenv import load_dotenv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's first configure a few things:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
load_dotenv()
|
|
|
|
# API configuration
|
|
openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
|
|
|
|
# for LangChain
|
|
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setup model instance:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
llm = OpenAI(model_name='text-davinci-003', temperature=0)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setup prompt + question:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
question = "Today is 27 February 2023. I was born exactly 25 years ago. What is the date I was born in MM/DD/YYYY?"
|
|
|
|
DATE_UNDERSTANDING_PROMPT = """
|
|
# Q: 2015 is coming in 36 hours. What is the date one week from today in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# If 2015 is coming in 36 hours, then today is 36 hours before.
|
|
today = datetime(2015, 1, 1) - relativedelta(hours=36)
|
|
# One week from today,
|
|
one_week_from_today = today + relativedelta(weeks=1)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is
|
|
one_week_from_today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: The first day of 2019 is a Tuesday, and today is the first Monday of 2019. What is the date today in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# If the first day of 2019 is a Tuesday, and today is the first Monday of 2019, then today is 6 days later.
|
|
today = datetime(2019, 1, 1) + relativedelta(days=6)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is

today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: The concert was scheduled to be on 06/01/1943, but was delayed by one day to today. What is the date 10 days ago in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# If the concert was scheduled to be on 06/01/1943, but was delayed by one day to today, then today is one day later.
|
|
today = datetime(1943, 6, 1) + relativedelta(days=1)
|
|
# 10 days ago,
|
|
ten_days_ago = today - relativedelta(days=10)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is
|
|
ten_days_ago.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: It is 4/19/1969 today. What is the date 24 hours later in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# It is 4/19/1969 today.
|
|
today = datetime(1969, 4, 19)
|
|
# 24 hours later,
|
|
later = today + relativedelta(hours=24)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is
|
|
today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: Jane thought today is 3/11/2002, but today is in fact Mar 12, which is 1 day later. What is the date 24 hours later in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# If Jane thought today is 3/11/2002, but today is in fact Mar 12, then today is 3/1/2002.
|
|
today = datetime(2002, 3, 12)
|
|
# 24 hours later,
|
|
later = today + relativedelta(hours=24)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is
|
|
later.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: Jane was born on the last day of Feburary in 2001. Today is her 16-year-old birthday. What is the date yesterday in MM/DD/YYYY?
|
|
# If Jane was born on the last day of Feburary in 2001 and today is her 16-year-old birthday, then today is 16 years later.
|
|
today = datetime(2001, 2, 28) + relativedelta(years=16)
|
|
# Yesterday,
|
|
yesterday = today - relativedelta(days=1)
|
|
# The answer formatted with %m/%d/%Y is
|
|
yesterday.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')
|
|
# Q: {question}
|
|
""".strip() + '\n'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
llm_out = llm(DATE_UNDERSTANDING_PROMPT.format(question=question))
|
|
print(llm_out)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
exec(llm_out)
|
|
print(born)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will output the following: `02/27/1998` |
