Today, at our NLP Café, I presented

Shunyu Yao, Dian Yu, Jeffrey Zhao, Izhak Shafran, Thomas L. Griffiths, Yuan Cao, Karthik Narasimhan (2023) Tree of Thoughts: Deliberate Problem Solving with Large Language Models. arXiv:2305.10601

Some of the participants asked for the slides, so here they are. I should mention that I prepared the presentation is a hurry, so it contains many chunks copied from the original appear.

While preparing my presentation, I came across this YouTube video which discussed the paper. In contrast to some other presentations which referred only to the examples in the paper, this video shows how you could simulate Tree of thoughts with a single prompt. I am not sure who came with the idea first, but it is also discussed in Hulbert (2023).

Of course, I had to check if this really works using one prompt. Here are the outputs from Bard and ChatGPT. Enjoy!
