Enhancing Response Depth through Generated Knowledge Prompting
Generated Knowledge Prompting is a technique where useful information is generated first to enhance the final response to a question.
AI creates knowledge by preemptively recognizing necessary information for problem-solving, and it refers to this pre-generated knowledge when forming the final response.
This can be structured as a single prompt, combining knowledge generation and response writing into one, or as dual prompts, separating the two stages.
Generated knowledge prompting, abbreviated as GKP, has shown to improve response accuracy on commonsense reasoning problems from 64.05% to 70.92% according to the Allen Institute's paper.
How to Utilize It?
Here's how to utilize a single prompt to generate knowledge and create a response at once.
