Title: UtilityMax Prompting: A Formal Framework for Multi-Objective Large Language Model Optimization

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.11583v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The success of a Large Language Model (LLM) task depends heavily on its prompt. Most use-cases specify prompts using natural language, which is inherently ambiguous when multiple objectives must be simultaneously satisfied. In this paper we introduce UtilityMax Prompting, a framework that specifies tasks using formal mathematical language. We reconstruct the task as an influence diagram in which the LLM's answer is the sole decision varia
