Prompt reinforcing for long-term planning of large language models

Hsien-Chin Lin, Benjamin Matthias Ruppik, Carel van Niekerk +6

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in a wide range of natural language processing tasks and can be adapted through prompting. However, they remain subopt…

Text-to-SQL Task-oriented Dialogue Ontology Construction

Renato Vukovic, Carel van Niekerk, Michael Heck +5

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used as general-purpose knowledge sources, but they rely on parametric knowledge, limiting explainability and trustworthiness. In task-orien…
