docs(10_Wiki): Topic_Business/General/Graphic/Programming을 Topics/ 하위로 이동
최상위 10_Wiki/Topic_*였던 4개 카테고리 폴더를 10_Wiki/Topics/Topic_* 로 재배치. 콘텐츠 변경 없음(순수 폴더 이동) — Topics/ 하위 나머지 폴더는 이미 지난 커밋에서 전부 정리된 상태(잔존 항목은 에이전트 운영 상태 및 사용자가 보존을 요청한 업데이트0615/무제 3.canvas 뿐).

# Iterative Prompting
|
||||
|
||||
## 매 한 줄
|
||||
> **"매 single prompt 의 X — 매 의 의 의 multiple round 의 의 의 quality ↑"**. 매 self-refine, CoVe (Chain-of-Verification), self-consistency, debate, agent loop. 매 modern: 매 reasoning model (o1, R1) 의 의 의 의 internal iteration. 매 trade-off: cost ↑, latency ↑.
|
||||
|
||||
## 매 핵심
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 patterns
|
||||
- **Self-Refine** (Madaan 2023): 매 generate → critique → refine.
|
||||
- **CoVe** (Dhuliawala 2023): 매 plan verification → check → refine.
|
||||
- **Self-Consistency** (Wang 2022): 매 multiple sample → majority.
|
||||
- **Debate** (Du 2023): 매 multi-LLM argue.
|
||||
- **ReAct** (Yao 2022): 매 reason + act loop.
|
||||
- **Reflexion** (Shinn 2023): 매 RL-style with verbal feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 응용
|
||||
1. Math reasoning.
|
||||
2. Code generation.
|
||||
3. Long writing.
|
||||
4. Fact verification.
|
||||
5. Agent task.
|
||||
|
||||
## 💻 패턴
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-refine (Madaan)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def self_refine(prompt, llm, max_iter=3):
|
||||
output = llm.generate(prompt)
|
||||
for _ in range(max_iter):
|
||||
critique = llm.generate(f"""Critique this output:
|
||||
{output}
|
||||
List specific issues. If perfect, say 'DONE'.""")
|
||||
if 'DONE' in critique: return output
|
||||
output = llm.generate(f"""Original: {prompt}
|
||||
Previous output: {output}
|
||||
Critique: {critique}
|
||||
Improved output:""")
|
||||
return output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Chain-of-Verification (CoVe)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def cove(question, llm):
|
||||
# 매 1. Initial answer
|
||||
initial = llm.generate(f'Answer: {question}')
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 2. Plan verification questions
|
||||
verify_qs = llm.generate(f"""Generate verification questions for:
|
||||
{initial}
|
||||
List as numbered questions.""").split('\n')
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 3. Answer each independently (avoid bias)
|
||||
verifications = [llm.generate(f'Answer: {q}') for q in verify_qs if q.strip()]
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 4. Refine
|
||||
return llm.generate(f"""Original: {initial}
|
||||
Verifications: {verifications}
|
||||
Refined answer accounting for any inconsistencies:""")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-consistency
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def self_consistency(question, llm, n=10):
|
||||
"""매 sample N times, majority vote."""
|
||||
answers = [llm.generate(question, temperature=0.7) for _ in range(n)]
|
||||
extracted = [extract_answer(a) for a in answers]
|
||||
from collections import Counter
|
||||
return Counter(extracted).most_common(1)[0][0]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-agent debate
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def debate(question, agents, n_rounds=3):
|
||||
answers = {a.name: a.generate(question) for a in agents}
|
||||
for r in range(n_rounds):
|
||||
for a in agents:
|
||||
others = '\n'.join(f'{n}: {ans}' for n, ans in answers.items() if n != a.name)
|
||||
answers[a.name] = a.generate(f"""Question: {question}
|
||||
Other agents:
|
||||
{others}
|
||||
Refine your answer (or stick if confident):""")
|
||||
return answers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ReAct (reason + act)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def react(task, llm, tools):
|
||||
history = [f'Task: {task}']
|
||||
for _ in range(10):
|
||||
thought = llm.generate('\n'.join(history) + '\nThought:')
|
||||
history.append(f'Thought: {thought}')
|
||||
|
||||
if 'final answer' in thought.lower():
|
||||
return thought
|
||||
|
||||
action = llm.generate('\n'.join(history) + '\nAction:')
|
||||
observation = execute(action, tools)
|
||||
history.append(f'Action: {action}\nObservation: {observation}')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reflexion (verbal RL)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def reflexion(task, llm, tools, max_attempts=5):
|
||||
memory = []
|
||||
for attempt in range(max_attempts):
|
||||
result = react_with_memory(task, llm, tools, memory)
|
||||
success = evaluate(result)
|
||||
if success: return result
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 reflect
|
||||
reflection = llm.generate(f"""Task: {task}
|
||||
Attempt {attempt}: {result}
|
||||
What went wrong? What should I try differently?""")
|
||||
memory.append(reflection)
|
||||
return result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Iterative refinement (writing)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def iterative_writing(topic, llm, draft_iterations=3):
|
||||
draft = llm.generate(f'Outline: {topic}')
|
||||
|
||||
for _ in range(draft_iterations):
|
||||
feedback = llm.generate(f"""Critique:
|
||||
- Clarity (1-10)
|
||||
- Argument strength (1-10)
|
||||
- Specific issues
|
||||
{draft}""")
|
||||
draft = llm.generate(f"""Revise based on feedback:
|
||||
{feedback}
|
||||
Original:
|
||||
{draft}""")
|
||||
return draft
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Self-correction (math)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def self_correct_math(problem, llm):
|
||||
answer = llm.generate(f'Solve step by step: {problem}')
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 verify
|
||||
check = llm.generate(f"""Check this solution:
|
||||
{answer}
|
||||
Verify each step. If error, point it out.""")
|
||||
|
||||
if 'error' in check.lower():
|
||||
answer = llm.generate(f"""Original: {answer}
|
||||
Check: {check}
|
||||
Corrected solution:""")
|
||||
|
||||
return answer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Best-of-N + judge
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def best_of_n(prompt, llm, judge_llm, n=8):
|
||||
candidates = [llm.generate(prompt, temperature=0.7) for _ in range(n)]
|
||||
judge_prompt = f"""Pick best answer.
|
||||
|
||||
Candidates:
|
||||
{format_candidates(candidates)}
|
||||
|
||||
Output just the index."""
|
||||
best_idx = int(judge_llm.generate(judge_prompt))
|
||||
return candidates[best_idx]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def tree_of_thoughts(problem, llm, branching=3, depth=4):
|
||||
"""매 매 step 의 의 의 multiple thoughts → 매 best."""
|
||||
paths = [[]]
|
||||
for _ in range(depth):
|
||||
new_paths = []
|
||||
for path in paths:
|
||||
thoughts = [llm.generate(f'{problem}\nPath: {path}\nNext thought:') for _ in range(branching)]
|
||||
for t in thoughts:
|
||||
new_paths.append(path + [t])
|
||||
# 매 score + prune
|
||||
scored = [(score(p, problem, llm), p) for p in new_paths]
|
||||
paths = [p for _, p in sorted(scored, key=lambda x: -x[0])[:branching]]
|
||||
return paths[0]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost monitoring
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def cost_aware_iterate(prompt, llm, budget_tokens):
|
||||
used = 0
|
||||
output = llm.generate(prompt)
|
||||
used += llm.last_usage.total_tokens
|
||||
|
||||
while used < budget_tokens:
|
||||
critique = llm.generate(f'Critique: {output}')
|
||||
used += llm.last_usage.total_tokens
|
||||
if 'DONE' in critique or used > budget_tokens * 0.9: return output
|
||||
output = llm.generate(f'Refine: {output} {critique}')
|
||||
used += llm.last_usage.total_tokens
|
||||
return output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Stop criterion (auto)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def auto_stop_iterate(prompt, llm, max_iter=5):
|
||||
prev = llm.generate(prompt)
|
||||
for _ in range(max_iter):
|
||||
new = llm.generate(f'Improve: {prev}')
|
||||
if similarity(prev, new) > 0.95: return new # 매 converged
|
||||
prev = new
|
||||
return prev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 매 결정 기준
|
||||
| 상황 | Pattern |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Math / reasoning | Self-consistency / CoVe |
|
||||
| Code | Self-refine + execute check |
|
||||
| Writing | Iterative refinement |
|
||||
| Open-ended | Best-of-N + judge |
|
||||
| Agent task | ReAct / Reflexion |
|
||||
| Complex search | Tree-of-Thoughts |
|
||||
|
||||
**기본값**: 매 reasoning = self-consistency (cheap) + CoVe (verify). 매 agent = ReAct + Reflexion. 매 cost-aware budget cap.

**언제 X**: 매 simple completion (cost waste).
|

|

## ❌ 안티패턴
|
||||
- **No stop criterion**: 매 infinite loop.
|
||||
- **No cost budget**: 매 bill shock.
|
||||
- **Same prompt every iter**: 매 no progress.
|
||||
- **No diverse sampling** (self-consistency): 매 same answer.
|
||||
- **Skip judge**: 매 best-of-N 매 useless.
