Website / Code / Paper

Large Language Models (LLMs) sometimes generate non-factual statements. To address this, the Highlighted Chain-of-Thought Prompting (HoT) technique was developed, enhancing responses by marking key facts with XML tags in both the query and the response. HoT improves upon traditional prompting methods in few-shot settings across various tasks, helping users more accurately identify correct LLM responses. However, it also increases the likelihood of users mistakenly accepting incorrect answers as correct.

NAACL, 2024 Findings
Code / Paper / Demo / Video

We proposed a part-based bird classifier that makes predictions based on part-wise descriptions. Our method directly utilizes human-provided descriptions (in this work, from GPT4). It outperforms CLIP and M&V by 10 points in CUB and 28 points in NABirds.
