Heuristic Classification of Thoughts Prompting (HCoT): Integrating Expert System Heuristics for Structured Reasoning into Large Language Models
Researchers propose Heuristic Classification of Thoughts (HCoT), a novel prompting method that integrates expert system heuristics into large language models to improve structured reasoning on complex problems. The approach addresses LLMs' stochastic token generation and decoupled reasoning mechanisms by using heuristic classification to guide and optimize decision trajectories, demonstrating superior performance and token efficiency compared to existing methods like Chain-of-Thoughts and Tree-of-Thoughts prompting.
