Evaluating prompting strategies for chart question answering with large language models

advanced Published 25 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify the prompting paradigms to be evaluated, including Zero-Shot, Few-Shot, Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought, and Few-Shot Chain-of-Thought
  2. Select suitable large language models, such as GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4o, for the evaluation
  3. Prepare a dataset, like ChartQA, with structured chart data to isolate prompt structure as the experimental variable
  4. Implement and evaluate the prompting strategies on the selected models and dataset
  5. Analyze the results to determine the most effective prompting strategy for chart question answering
