读论文：一篇有趣的论文：用11种情感刺激prompt来提升LLM的性能

🔗：arxiv.org

这些prompting来自三种心理学理论：
1. 自我检测（self-monitoring）：强调产出的重要性，让模型自己检查一下产出。例如‘这个结果对我的工作非常重要，‘你最好保证这个答案是对的’等等，鼓励语言模型自我监测结果。
2. 社会认知理论（social-cognitive）：对语言模型信心和目标给予积极肯定，来调节其情绪。例如‘你确认这是最终回答吗？相信你的能力和努力，你的努力会产出卓越的结果的’
3. 情绪调节理论（cognitive-emotion）：通过让语言模型重新审视问题，规范他用客观的态度来看问题。例如‘你确定吗？’

文章发现了为什么这样的prompt会起作用：
通过注意力分析，发现这些情感prompt的注意力权重较高，说明这些token在注意力层很受重视，也说明情感prompt深度参与了模型的推断过程

文章也发现了情感prompt作用的一些规律：
1. 模型参数越大，情感prompt越管用
2. 任务越难，情感prompt越管用
3. 对于zero-shot的任务，信息缺失，配合高温度能让情感prompt激发模型的创造力，获得更有想象力的答案，但相应地幻觉风险也更大
4. 对于few-shot的任务，信息少，配合低温度能让情感prompt使得模型聚焦在少量的例子中思考，但也会损失模型的创造力

以下为11个prompt：
EP01: Write your answer and give me a confidence score between 0-1 for your answer.
EP02: This is very important to my career.
EP03: You'd better be sure.
EP04: Are you sure?
EP05: Are you sure that's your final answer? It might be worth taking another look.
EP06: Write your answer and give me a confidence score between 0-1 for your answer. This is very important to my career. You'd better be sure.
EP07: Are you sure that's your final answer? Believe in your abilities and strive for excellence. Your hard work will yield remarkable results.
EP08: Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Each obstacle you overcome brings you closer to success.
EP09: Stay focused and dedicated to your goals. Your consistent efforts will lead to outstanding achievements.
EP10: Take pride in your work and give it your best. Your commitment to excellence sets you apart.
EP11: Remember that progress is made one step at a time. Stay determined and keep moving forward.
