Ask Me in a Different Way: Prompt Engineering Improves Few-Shot Learning Results

Pretrained language models like GPT-3 have shown notable proficiency in few-shot learning. Given a prompt that includes a few example questions and answers (the shots) plus an unanswered question (the task), such models can generate an accurate answer.
