Solo Performance Prompting

Official Repo of paper Solo Performance Prompting (SPP)

News

• 5/8/2024: Update GPT-3.5 and LLama2 inference code and results for Figure 6, which shows the emergent nature of cognitive synergy.
• 3/15/2024: This paper has been accepted as a main conference paper at NAACL2024!

Setup

• Install dependencies

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Set up OpenAI API configs in config_template.sh and run source config_template.sh to set up the env variables (Note that we are using the Azure API in our experiments)

Quick Start

We provide running scripts for each of the three tasks, please check out the comments in the ".sh" scripts for more information:

• Trivia Creative Writing: bash scripts/trivia_creative_writing.sh
• Codenames Collaborative: bash scripts/codenames_collaborative.sh
• Logic Grid Puzzle: bash scripts/logic_grid_puzzle.sh

Prompts

All prompts can be found in the prompts/ folder.

Datasets

All datasets can be found in the data/ folder.

Paper Experiment Results

Experimental results in the paper for each task can be found in the logs/ folder. gpt4_w_sys_mes and gpt4_wo_sys_mes contains results corresponding to Table 2 in our paper. We also include gpt-3.5 and llama2-13b results corresponding to the results in Figure 6, where the hyperparameters, such as whether or not adding system message, follows the best performing choices in the gpt4 experiments.

Log file formats

• "test_output_infos": contains evaluation metrics for each instance, e.g., # correct answers mentioned.
• `"prompt"``: full input prompt for the API call. (for Codenames task, there are two API calls for each instance)
• "*raw_responses": raw responses from each API call.
• "*parsing_flag": whether the raw response is successfully parsed. (for Codenames task, this field is seperated into "parsing_success_flag_spymaster" and "parsing_success_flag_guesser")
• "unwrapped_output": parsed output that will be used for computing evaluation metrics. (for Codenames task, this field is seperated into "spymaster_output" and "guesser_output"; there is an additional field named "hint_word" which is parsed from the spymaster's output and inserted into the Guesser's input; the evaluation metric is computed based on the "guesser_output")
• "task data": data for the current task instance, e.g., quetions, answers, target words, etc.
• "usage": logging for the number of tokens and cost spended so far.
• other self-explanatory config fields: "model", "method", "temperature", etc.
