Role: Establishes the perspective or identity for the LLM, setting the context and tone for the response.

Context: Provides relevant background information or topic context to aid the LLM in generating an appropriate response, striking a balance between clarity and brevity.

Instruction: Clearly defines the task or question for the LLM

Example: Offers a sample response to illustrate the expected output, aiding the LLM in understanding the prompt's requirements.

Constraints: Set limitations for the LLM to work within, such as time or resource constraints, to refine the model's output.

Evaluation Criteria: Defines how the LLM's output will be assessed, encompassing factors like accuracy and specificity.

Role: "Assume the role of a climate policy analyst at the Environmental Protection Agency tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of various adaptation strategies for coastal communities."

Context: "Given the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and rising sea levels, your analysis aims to inform policymakers on the most viable adaptation strategies for coastal regions."

Instruction: "Provide a comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of different adaptation measures, including seawalls, beach nourishment, and ecosystem-based approaches."

Data: "Consider data such as historical storm surge data, coastal erosion rates, population density along the coast, and economic impact assessments of past disasters."

Output: "Present your analysis in a detailed report format, including an executive summary, methodology, findings, and recommendations for policymakers."

Example: "An example response could include a comparison of the cost-effectiveness of seawalls versus natural dune restoration in mitigating storm damage based on historical data."

Constraints: "You have a time constraint of two weeks to complete the analysis, with access to limited computational resources for data processing."

Evaluation Criteria: "The output will be evaluated based on its accuracy in assessing the effectiveness of adaptation strategies, relevance to coastal policymaking, and clarity of presentation."

Temperature: Temperature controls the randomness of the generated text. A higher temperature leads to more randomness, resulting in more diverse but potentially less coherent outputs. Conversely, a lower temperature produces more conservative, predictable responses. When using temperature, consider the desired balance between creativity and coherence in the generated text.

Top Probability: Top P, also known as nucleus sampling, selects words based on their cumulative probability until the cumulative probability exceeds a predefined threshold (P). This parameter allows for dynamic truncation of the probability distribution, ensuring diversity while avoiding unlikely or irrelevant words. Use Top P when you want to control the diversity of the generated text while maintaining relevance.

Stop Sequences: Stop sequences are specific words or phrases that prompt the model to stop generating text. By specifying stop sequences, you can ensure that the generated text remains focused and coherent. This is particularly useful when generating text for structured tasks like completing sentences or paragraphs.

Frequency Penalty: Frequency penalty discourages the repetition of words within the generated text. By penalizing the repetition of words, you can encourage the model to produce more varied and diverse outputs. Frequency penalty is helpful when you want to avoid monotonous or repetitive text, especially in longer generations.

Presence Penalty: Presence penalty penalizes the presence of certain words or phrases in the generated text. This parameter allows you to influence the content of the generated text by discouraging the inclusion of specific terms. Use the presence penalty when you want to avoid certain topics or themes in the generated text.

Best of: Best of selects the best output from multiple generations based on predefined criteria such as coherence, relevance, or diversity. By generating multiple outputs and selecting the best one, you can improve the quality of the generated text. Best of is useful when you want to ensure the quality of the generated text, especially in high-stakes or critical applications.

Selecting a Pre-trained Model: Choose a pre-trained LM that serves as the starting point for fine-tuning. Common pre-trained LMs include OpenAI's GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models, Google's BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), and others.

Defining the Task: Clearly define the task or domain for which the LM will be fine-tuned. This could include tasks like text classification, language translation, text generation, sentiment analysis, summarization, and more.

Preparing Training Data: Gather a dataset of examples relevant to the target task. The dataset should consist of input-output pairs or labeled examples that the LM will learn from during fine-tuning. The quality and representativeness of the training data are crucial for the success of fine-tuning.

Fine-tuning Procedure: Initialize the pre-trained LM with its learned parameters and continue training it on the task-specific dataset. During fine-tuning, the LM's parameters are adjusted based on the examples provided, allowing it to learn task-specific patterns and improve its performance on the target task.

Hyperparameter Tuning: Fine-tuning often involves adjusting hyperparameters such as learning rate, batch size, and training duration to optimize the LM's performance on the target task. Hyperparameter tuning helps improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the fine-tuning process.

Evaluation: After fine-tuning, evaluate the performance of the LM on a separate validation or test dataset to assess its accuracy, generalization ability, and suitability for the target task. Iterative refinement may be necessary based on the evaluation results.
