Prompt-based learning is a method used for language models to interpret natural language by remembering the prior knowledge acquired and the training objective. Recent prompt-based fewshot learners have achieved superior performance by alleviating the catastrophic forgetting that occurs in pretrained language models. Few-shot learning contributes towards solving the data scarcity problem, an enormous challenge in AI systems and a significant consideration in natural language processing research. In spite of the significance of few-shot learning, research on Korean language-based few-shot learning is insufficient, and whether the prompt-based approach is appropriate for the Korean language has not been thoroughly verified. As a step toward realizing a Korean-prompt-based few-shot learner, we attempt to apply prompt engineering to the Korean language understanding benchmark dataset and introduce plain template insertion to overcome data scarcity in a more practical few-shot setting. The contributions of this study are as follows: (1) presumably, this is the first study to apply prompt-based few-shot learning to Korean benchmark datasets. With 32 few-shot settings, it improves performance by +14.88, +29.04, and +1.81 in the natural language inference, semantic textual similarity, and topic classification tasks. (2) We present prompt engineering, which merely inserts a plain template and increases data efficiency without training example selection, augmentation, reformulation, and retrieval. (3) Our approach is robust to the Korean prompt's contextual information and sentence structure and is applicable to both hard-and soft-prompt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
