Does Structured Intent Representation Generalize? A Cross-Language, Cross-Model Empirical Study of 5W3H Prompting

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Researchers study the generalizability of structured intent representation across languages and models using 5W3H prompting

advanced Published 27 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Investigate the Prompt Protocol Specification (PPS) framework for structured intent representation
  2. Extend prior research to include multiple languages (English, Japanese, and Chinese)
  3. Evaluate the effectiveness of automatic expansion of simple prompts into full 5W3H specifications
  4. Analyze the results to determine the generalizability of structured intent representation across languages and models

Title: Does Structured Intent Representation Generalize? A Cross-Language, Cross-Model Empirical Study of 5W3H Prompting

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.25379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Does structured intent representation generalize across languages and models? We study PPS (Prompt Protocol Specification), a 5W3H-based framework for structured intent representation in human-AI interaction, and extend prior Chinese-only evidence along three dimensions: two additional languages (English and Japanese), a fourth condition in which a user's simple prompt is automatically expanded into a full 5W3H specification by an AI-assisted autho
