Abstract

The outstanding growth in the applications of large language models (LLMs) demonstrates the significance of adaptive and efficient prompt engineering tactics. The existing methods may not be variable, vigorous and streamlined in different domains. The offered study introduces an immediate optimization outline, named PROMPTx-PE, that is going to yield a greater level of precision and strength when it comes to the assignments that are premised on LLM. The proposed system features a timely selection scheme which is informed by reinforcement learning, a contextual layer and a dynamic weighting module which is regulated by Lyapunov-based stability guidelines. The PROMPTx-PE dynamically varies the exploration and exploitation of the prompt space, depending on real-time feedback and multi-objective reward development. Extensive testing on both benchmark (GLUE, SuperGLUE) and domain-specific data (Healthcare-QA and Industrial-NER) demonstrates a large best performance to be 89.4% and a strong robustness disconnect with under 3% computation expense. The results confirm the effectiveness, consistency, and scalability of PROMPTx-PE as a platform of adaptive prompt engineering based on recent uses of LLMs.
