Revisiting Chain-of-Thought Prompting: Zero-shot Can Be Stronger than Few-shot
Xiang Cheng, Chengyan Pan, Minjun Zhao +5
In-Context Learning (ICL) is an essential emergent ability of Large Language Models (LLMs), and recent studies introduce Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to exemplars of ICL to enhance the r…
