NLP
Chain of Thought Prompting ArXiv Link Flat scaling curves—simply increasing model scale does not lead to substantive performance gains Chain of thought prompting facilitating multistep reasoning in large language models The intuition is that a chain of thought allows language models to decompose a multi-step problem into intermediate steps that are solved individually, instead of solving an entire multi-hop problem in a single forward pass Another intuition behind chain of thought reasoning is that it allows the model to spend more computation (i....
