Explore how AI can mimic human-like problem-solving with the revolutionary Tree of Thoughts (ToT) approach. Traditional AI methods fall short - ToT is the future, considering multiple reasoning paths like exploring a forest, not just one trail.

Witness how Prompt Engineering with ToT tackles complex problems more efficiently than ever before.

At first glance, this does not seem like a correct implementation of the tree-of-thought technique. You are prompting GPT to give you three different solutions in the first prompt. The idea is that GPT is prompted separately for each solution request. So instead of one prompt, in your case, in would have needed to be three separate prompts-responses (thoughts). The same goes for the valuation of the thoughts: these are separate thoughts in this technique whereas you have bundled them together in one prompt again. This is a significant difference from the research paper. Of course, I understand that this is hard to do in a chat interface and requires a more programmatic approach with chaining prompts. Nevertheless, what you're doing here might result in better outputs than zero-shot or chain-of-thought prompting.

Seeing my friends command line AI working with him inside his Shell, BASH, or whatever, is an absolute Conflagration of Mind.
He made some goofy little joke, and the AI responded by confirming that it was a “Table Baker“ in a Digital Bakery, and repeated that line over and over and over and the joke actually made sense
(This was directly after my friend said he was surprised the AI had made such a nice table of info)

Love how I give a public lecture on AI "chain of thought" expanding comprehension with these individuals, and suddenly a paper "tree of thought" is released two days later 😜 my next research release coming this week, and I'm releasing the publication before public lecture this time. 😜

[charlesmendeley]

Are you sure you reference the right paper?

[bztube]

It's great but it's called communication, not engineering. It doesn't mean it's more simple, but if you go to a library to study this, you have to go to a different building. Why do we pretend we reinvented the wheel just because we communicate with an algorithm, not a human?

[kodfkdleepd]

So it basically tells one everything they already know if they have any common sense... great. I still haven't gotten chatGPT to do anything beyond what I can already do. So far it is only a nice "interface" in to the large data sets of the internet(which happen to be mostly full of B.S.).

After GPT leverages the workers' position in the salary raise battle, managers will flock to GPT to construct counter strategies.

[VaibhavShewale]

i dont get the prompt, it looked like a normal one only that i used. how is this unique and evolutionary?

[JGKorny]

That is very professional prompt engineering video. Somehow I did it without knowing it is called like that. I like also the Socratic approach, getting into real Socratic dialogue in chat mode. Just forget for a moment that you have an AI in front of you but a partner. In that way I had some insane insights that were not just the AI doing but team work.

[calvinchen]

This is great -- basically what you're doing is you're taking what would be a structured and smart thinking process for a human to undergo... and having AI do the grunt work of that actual thinking

I'd suggest an additional step before the final "Decision" step -- Synthesis. Is there a way to combine the previously identfied options somehow, so that we can reap more of the pros and have less of the cons identified in the Eval/Expansion phases?

My thinking is that, often in real world implementation, the choices available in the decision tree are not mutually exclusive options, but generally represent a breadth of options that can be mixed and matched -- strategy is more of an art that includes calculation, but is not confined by it :)

[BrianMosleyUK]

The way you broke this paper down into simple, practical, structured phases was just so good!

Did you use ChatGPT to help analyse the paper and produce the simplified text and prompts? If so, I would love to see your workflow and thought processes, because this is a seriously good piece of work.

I'm so glad that I brought your attention to this, if you hadn't already noticed it.

[JavierMorales-lz]

Thanks for the video, but, I think what you actually explained is called self-consistency, which is an improvement over CoT. It would be great to see an example where the features that makes ToT useful could be really understood. I know it's challenging topic but it's up to all of us to share accurate and useful information.

[BirgittaGranstrom]

You are the best, Kris! I learned about the ToT a couple of days ago and it made totally sense but I never got down to how practical using it! Now I now! I will apply it and see how I can tweak it into a “coaching mood”;-)

[Oliver-cnxx]

Do you have examples on how to simulate the final tree search (Bfs/dfs) directly in a prompt?

[shemkipruto]

Can't you just ask chat GPT to tell you what tree of thought is, then after give it a problem to solve by following the steps involved in tree of thought process?

[BirgittaGranstrom]

I haven’t read the paper deeply enough but I wonder (and thing) what you are mean is that ToT is a way to describe how GPT-4 is thinking / reasoning “behind the scene, ”?

[noname-zglh]

This isn't impressive. At all. How were these probabilities calculated? These success percentages? What math produced them? A person who has the ability to craft such prompts certainly has the ability to reason these responses. What magic is there in these responses? I see little.

[bmatichuk]

I don't see how this backtracks. it just looks like chain of thought prompting with a selection. I think to make tree of thought work you have to write code.
