Papers on advanced prompting to improve reasoning

• Chain-of-Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models (2022): Using few-shot prompts to ask models to think step by step improves their reasoning. PaLM's score on math word problems (GSM8K) rises from 18% to 57%.
• Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning in Language Models (2022): Taking votes from multiple outputs improves accuracy even more. Voting across 40 outputs raises PaLM's score on math word problems further, from 57% to 74%, and code-davinci-002's from 60% to 78%.
• Tree of Thoughts: Deliberate Problem Solving with Large Language Models (2023): Searching over trees of step by step reasoning helps even more than voting over chains of thought. It lifts GPT-4's scores on creative writing and crosswords.
• Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners (2022): Telling instruction-following models to think step by step improves their reasoning. It lifts text-davinci-002's score on math word problems (GSM8K) from 13% to 41%.
• Large Language Models Are Human-Level Prompt Engineers (2023): Automated searching over possible prompts found a prompt that lifts scores on math word problems (GSM8K) to 43%, 2 percentage points above the human-written prompt in Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners.
• Reprompting: Automated Chain-of-Thought Prompt Inference Through Gibbs Sampling (2023): Automated searching over possible chain-of-thought prompts improved ChatGPT's scores on a few benchmarks by 0–20 percentage points.
• Faithful Reasoning Using Large Language Models (2022): Reasoning can be improved by a system that combines: chains of thought generated by alternative selection and inference prompts, a halter model that chooses when to halt selection-inference loops, a value function to search over multiple reasoning paths, and sentence labels that help avoid hallucination.
• STaR: Bootstrapping Reasoning With Reasoning (2022): Chain of thought reasoning can be baked into models via fine-tuning. For tasks with an answer key, example chains of thoughts can be generated by language models.
• ReAct: Synergizing Reasoning and Acting in Language Models (2023): For tasks with tools or an environment, chain of thought works better if you prescriptively alternate between Reasoning steps (thinking about what to do) and Acting (getting information from a tool or environment).
• Reflexion: an autonomous agent with dynamic memory and self-reflection (2023): Retrying tasks with memory of prior failures improves subsequent performance.
• Demonstrate-Search-Predict: Composing retrieval and language models for knowledge-intensive NLP (2023): Models augmented with knowledge via a "retrieve-then-read" can be improved with multi-hop chains of searches.
• Improving Factuality and Reasoning in Language Models through Multiagent Debate (2023): Generating debates between a few ChatGPT agents over a few rounds improves scores on various benchmarks. Math word problem scores rise from 77% to 85%.
