From Smart Example Selection to Self-Learning Systems

By now, you’ve seen DSPy run a single module, chain modules into pipelines, and even optimize prompts automatically. But there’s one question: how does DSPy decide what examples to use when prompting?

This article explores how DSPy leverages few-shot examples to enhance the decision-making process in AI systems. It emphasizes the significance of selecting the right examples to guide models, helping to improve accuracy, reduce errors, and align outputs with user expectations. The discussion includes specific strategies for choosing examples, optimizing them for performance, and the overall impact of these practices on creating self-learning AI systems that adapt to feedback and enhance operational efficiency.
