• Title: Think Beyond Size: Dynamic Prompting for More Effective Reasoning
• Authors: Kamesh R,
• Abstract summary: This paper presents Dynamic Prompting, a novel framework aimed at improving the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) In contrast to conventional static prompting methods, Dynamic Prompting enables the adaptive modification of prompt sequences and step counts based on real-time task complexity and model performance. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that Dynamic Prompting allows smaller LLMs to perform competitively with much larger models, thereby challenging the conventional emphasis on model size as the primary determinant of reasoning efficacy.

• Abstract: This paper presents Dynamic Prompting, a novel framework aimed at improving the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). In contrast to conventional static prompting methods, Dynamic Prompting enables the adaptive modification of prompt sequences and step counts based on real-time task complexity and model performance. This dynamic adaptation facilitates more efficient problem-solving, particularly in smaller models, by reducing hallucinations and repetitive cycles. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that Dynamic Prompting allows smaller LLMs to perform competitively with much larger models, thereby challenging the conventional emphasis on model size as the primary determinant of reasoning efficacy.

  Large pretrained models are showing increasingly better performance in reasoning and planning tasks. We evaluate their ability to produce decision-making policies, either directly, by generating actions, or indirectly. In environments with unfamiliar dynamics, we explore how fine-tuning LLMs with synthetic data can significantly improve their reward modeling capabilities.

  Transformer-based models, such as BERT and GPT, have been widely adopted in natural language processing (NLP) Recent studies show their vulnerability to textual adversarial attacks where the model's output can be misled by intentionally manipulating the text inputs. We propose a novel method called dynamic attention, tailored for the transformer architecture, to enhance the inherent robustness of the model itself against various adversarial attacks.

In particular, we propose a computationally efficient planning algorithm with UCB exploration by incorporating kernel embeddings of latent variable models.
