Contrastive Prompt

Contrastive prompting is a technique that enhances large language model (LLM) performance by training or guiding the model using pairs of contrasting prompts—one correct and one incorrect, or one representing a desired outcome and another representing an undesired one. Current research focuses on applying this approach to improve various aspects of LLMs, including reasoning abilities, multi-objective alignment, backdoor detection, and continual learning, often leveraging contrastive learning frameworks and prompt-tuning methods. This technique offers a powerful and efficient way to improve LLM capabilities across diverse tasks, reducing the need for extensive retraining or manual prompt engineering, and leading to more robust and adaptable AI systems.
