Running

From the root directory of the repo, you can launch the editor with

streamlit run promptsource/promptsource.py

There are 3 modes in the app:

• Helicopter view: aggregate high level metrics on the current state of the sourcing

Writing Templates

A prompt template is expressed in Jinja.

It is rendered using an example from the corresponding Hugging Face datasets library (a dictionary). The separator ||| should appear once to divide the template into prompt and output. Generally, the prompt should provide information on the desired behavior, e.g., text passage and instructions, and the output should be a desired response.

Here's an example for AG News:

{{text}}
Is this a piece of news regarding {{"world politics"}}, {{"sports"}}, {{"business"}}, or {{"science and technology"}}? |||
{{ ["World politics", "Sports", "Business", "Science and technology"][label] }}
