Prompt-engineering paper accepted to ICML [R]

" Verbalized Sampling: How to Mitigate Mode Collapse and Unlock LLM Diversity " This paper was accepted to ICML this year. Its main idea is a very simple prompt-engineering trick: "changing the prompt this way led to more diverse sampling". Naturally, it is difficult to provide a rigorous theoretical analysis for something like this. Even if it works, I’m not sure this kind of prompt engineering belongs at a top-tier machine learning conference. Some people seems to call this kind of work “modern machine le
