Prompt Engineering Overview

YouTube Lecture Summary: 00:41  Prompt engineering involves using instructions and context to leverage language models effectively for various applications beyond just language tasks. 02:18  Prompt engineering is crucial for understanding language model capabilities, applicable in research and industry, as highlighted by job postings emphasizing this skill. 03:37  Components of a prompt include instructions, context, input data, and output indicators, affecting the model's response, with elements like temperature and top P influencing model output diversity. 05:45  Prompt engineering applies to various tasks like text summarization, question answering, text classification, role playing, code generation, and reasoning, showcasing diverse applications. 09:57  Language models, like OpenAI's, exhibit impressive code generation abilities, handling queries from natural language prompts for tasks such as SQL query generation. 10:51  While language models can reason to an extent, specific prompts and techniques like Chain of Thought prompting aid in improving their reasoning capabilities, although it's an evolving field. 11:19  The lecture delves into code examples and tools, showcasing how prompt engineering techniques are applied practically, using OpenAI's Python client and other tools. 19:34  Advanced techniques like Few Shot Prompts, Chain of Thought prompting, and Zero Shot Chain of Thought prompting boost performance on complex tasks by providing demonstrations and step-by-step reasoning instructions to the language model. 23:13  Prompt engineering is an exciting space where crafting clever prompts empowers language models, allowing for powerful capabilities and advancements in various applications. 23:27  Prompt engineering aims to improve language models for complex reasoning tasks, as these models aren't naturally adept at such tasks. 24:22  Self-consistency in prompting involves generating multiple diverse reasoning paths and selecting the most consistent answers, boosting performance on tasks like arithmetic and Common Sense reasoning. 25:16  Demonstrating steps to solve problems within prompts guides models to produce correct answers consistently. 26:37  Using language models to generate knowledge for specific tasks has emerged as a promising technique, even without external sources or APIs. 30:15  Program-aided language models use interpreters like Python to generate intermediate reasoning steps, enhancing complex problem-solving. 32:35  React frameworks utilize language models and external sources interchangeably for reasoning traces, action plans, and task handling. 35:20  Tools and platforms for prompt engineering offer capabilities for development, evaluation, versioning, and deployment of prompts. 40:08  Various tools allow combining language models with external sources or APIs for sophisticated applications, augmenting the generation process. 44:45  Leveraging tools like Long-Chain allows building on language models by chaining and augmenting data for generating responses. 46:22  Prompt engineering involves combining react-based actions with language models, showcasing the observation, thought, and action sequence for varied tasks. 47:53  Updated and accurate information from external sources is crucial for prompt engineering applications, highlighting the importance of up-to-date data stores. 48:34  Data augmentation in prompt engineering involves reliance on external sources and tools to generate varied content, requiring data preparation and formatting. 50:34  Prompt engineering explores clever problem-solving techniques to engage language models effectively, like converting questions into different languages while maintaining context and sources. 52:40  Model safety is a critical aspect of prompt engineering, focusing on understanding and mitigating language model limitations, biases, and vulnerabilities, including initiatives like prompt injections to identify system vulnerabilities. 55:12  Potential vulnerabilities like prompt injection, prompt leaking, and jailbreaking highlight risks of manipulating language model outputs, emphasizing the importance of reinforcing system safety measures. 58:30  Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) aims to train language models to meet human preferences, emphasizing the relevance of high-quality prompt datasets in this training process. 01:00:06  Prompt engineering facilitates the integration of external sources into language models, enabling diverse reasoning capabilities and applications, particularly useful for scientific tasks requiring factual references. 01:01:27  Understanding emerging language model capabilities, such as thought prompting, multi-modality, and graph data handling, is a crucial area for future exploration and development in AI research.

Gwen probably studies pharmacy at uni, not too sure but she’s there doing something. Kev’s got an apprenticeship somewhere.

[notbecauseofvictories]

it's very strange to read something and feel the deep, almost primal need to roll your eyes and say "okay, dad" to someone who you've never met and is definitely not your father in any literal or metaphorical way.

noor hindi fuck your lecture on craft, my people are dying

i loveeeee running into friends it’s literally like some kind of divine intervention that immediately makes my day 1000% better

[cherryphobe]

My friends cat fucking survived being bit in the face by a rattlesnake with NO ANTIVENOM & since he is okay & healing I am legally allowed to make fun of how fucking stupid & swollen she looked immediately after it happened

Lmao & Lol even...

Anne Strathie, biographer of Bowers and Ponting, and chronicler of Terra Nova men in WWI, has a new book out, following a thread through two centuries of polar exploration (both poles!) via 50 carefully chosen objects. She's giving a talk about it at the RGS on Monday, 27 Jan 2025, 14:30 GMT, which you can attend on Zoom if you're not convenient to London. Register to reserve a seat or be sent a Zoom link! It's completely free either way!

You can get a copy of the book here, or at your local bookshop ...

UPDATE: They have sold out the live event, so you can't book a ticket online, but if you email the email link provided on the page, they will get you on the Zoom list.

Anyone else grow up thinking something’s just normal to know/do only to find out later that your parents just have highly specific jobs/hobbies?

do you ever put your hands down and your big slutty calf-eyes away, you sweet sweet silly man

i continue to desire him carnally, btw

Thinking about Lan Qiren being online and I'm pretty sure that he would fall for the Smooth Sharks Fallacy like every single time.

People would try and explain it to him and it wouldn't matter. He would still keep trying to bring academic articles into pie fights.

"haha, are you an art gay, a science gay, or a math gay"

Actually, I find the division between art, science, and math to be a very nebulous idea and useless when you actually interact with the universe. The more you learn about the world, the more you surround yourself with art and science and math, and you'll never be able to see it any other way and it will be beautiful. When I take your hand, it won't be the science of our atoms closing the distance between us that we will experience, but the math of our fingers interlocking and the art of our bodies that we will experience. You are math and you are science and you are art, and nothing will make you any lesser💛

highly recommend this video for people interested in the overlap between medical illustration, art history, and the representation of gender/sexual diversity
