Let’s dive into the details of these advanced prompting techniques.
Zero-shot prompting
Zero-shot prompting is the technique of providing simple and direct instructions to the model without any additional context or examples. In this technique, the model is given unseen tasks and uses its training knowledge to generate a response without relying on any previous tasks or examples. In simple words, it is prompting without example, which is why it's also called direct prompting.
Consider a scenario where an employee, John, arrives at the office on a Monday morning, and his ...
