CRCL at SemEval-2024 Task 2: Simple prompt optimizations

AbstractWe present a baseline for the SemEval 2024 task 2 challenge, whose objective is to ascertain the inference relationship between pairs of clinical trial report sections and statements.We apply prompt optimization techniques with LLM Instruct models provided as a Language Model-as-a-Service (LMaaS).We observed, in line with recent findings, that synthetic CoT prompts significantly enhance manually crafted ones.The source code is available at this GitHub repository https://github.com/ClementBM-CLB/semeval-2024
