Narrative Prompt

Narrative prompting is a technique that uses story-telling instructions to guide large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, in tasks like forecasting and text simplification. Current research focuses on optimizing prompt design to improve model performance, exploring different narrative structures and evaluating the validity of generated narratives across various applications. This approach enhances LLMs' ability to synthesize information and extrapolate beyond their training data, leading to improved accuracy in prediction tasks and more effective communication of complex information, particularly in fields like finance and medicine. The resulting advancements have implications for various NLP applications, including improved information access and enhanced analytical capabilities.
