Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the art of crafting effective prompts for


language models.
In essence, it's the bridge between human intent and AI execution.

Prompting Techniques
Zero-Shot Prompting The model receives only the task description without
any examples.

One-Shot Prompting The model receives the task description along with one
example input-output pair.

Few-Shot Prompting The model receives the task description with several
input-output pairs as examples.
Key Prompting Techniques

1. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) :


This technique enhances language model outputs by incorporating external knowledge. The model first retrieves relevant information from a
knowledge base, then uses this information to generate a more informed and accurate response.
2. COT (Chain of Thought) :

COT guides the language model towards a more logical and step-by-step reasoning process. By explicitly prompting the model to break down
complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, COT improves accuracy and explainability.
3. ReAct (Reason and Act) :

ReAct combines reasoning and action to enable language models to interact with their environment. The model reasons about a task, takes an
action (like searching or querying a database), and then uses the result to inform the next step in the process.
4. DSP (Directional Stimulus Prompting) :

This technique uses carefully crafted prompts to guide the language model towards a specific type of output. It is often used to steer the
model towards a particular style, tone, or format.
Prompt Engineering in Action:
Real-World Applications and Use
Cases

Content Creation
Generate articles, stories, scripts, and other creative content tailored to specific needs.

Code Generation
Develop software, write code for specific tasks, and debug existing code.

Translation
Translate languages accurately and efficiently, maintaining the nuances of meaning.
Navigating Prompt Engineering Challenges:
Troubleshooting and Optimization
Ambiguity
1 Vague or unclear prompts can lead to unexpected or irrelevant results. Ensure your prompts are precise and
unambiguous, leaving no room for misinterpretation by the AI model.

Bias and Fairness


2 AI models can reflect biases present in their training data. Be mindful of the potential
for bias in your prompts and strive to create prompts that are fair and inclusive.
