Large language models (LLMs) have recently been shown to deliver impressive performance in various NLP tasks. To tackle multi-step reasoning tasks, few-shot chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting includes a few manually crafted step-by-step reasoning demonstrations which enable LLMs to explicitly generate reasoning steps and improve their reasoning task accuracy. To eliminate the manual effort, Zeroshot-CoT concatenates the target problem statement with “Let’s think step by step” as an input prompt to LLMs. Despite the success of Zero-shot-CoT, it still suffers from three pitfalls: calculation errors, missing-step errors, and semantic misunderstanding errors. To address the missing-step errors, we propose Planand-Solve (PS) Prompting. It …

Collection data structures have a major impact on the performance of applications, especially in languages such as Java, C#, or C++. This requires a developer to select an appropriate collection from a large set of possibilities, including different abstractions (e.g. list, map, set, queue), and multiple implementations. In Java, the default implementation of collections is provided by the standard Java Collection Framework (JCF). However, there exist a large variety of less known third-party collection libraries which can provide substantial performance benefits with minimal code changes.
