3.4 Robustness of Chain of Thought

  1. How robust is chain-of-thought prompting to who writes the exemplars?
    Chains written by three different annotators, a deliberately concise style, and exemplars sampled from GSM8K’s training set all beat standard prompting by a large margin despite some variance, so success doesn’t depend on a particular linguistic style; it was also robust to exemplar order and number.
