Abstract
Prompt engineering is an iterative procedure that often requires extensive manual effort to formulate suitable instructions for effectively directing large language models (LLMs) in specific tasks. Incorporating few-shot examples is a vital and effective approach to provide LLMs with precise instructions, leading to improved LLM performance. Nonetheless, identifying the most informative demonstrations for LLMs is labor-intensive, frequently entailing sifting through an extensive search space. In this demonstration, we showcase a human-in-the-loop tool called ool (Active Prompt Engineering) designed for refining prompts through active learning. Drawing inspiration from active learning, ool iteratively selects the most ambiguous examples for human feedback, which will be transformed into few-shot examples within the prompt.
