Learn GPT-3 Prompt engineering step by step



[Playground to test](https://platform.openai.com/playground?mode=complete&model=text-davinci-002)


## text-davinci-002
Text-davinci-002 is Instruct Model which is fine-tune to follow the instruction in order to give you the result, so we'll be looking at a few examples:

1. [Summarization/Paraphrasing](#summarization/paraphrasing)
2. [Classification](#)
3. [Rewriting](#rewriting)
4. [Keyword extraction, named entity recognition, dates, etc..](#Keyword-extraction-named-entity-recognition-date)



#### 1) Summarization/Paraphrasing
let's start with the first task which is summarization or paraphrasing. we need to give an imperative verb (Command, request word), so I'll just write `summarize` at the beginning which tells what to do with the instruction, and then put the actual article. 

if you capitalize something, it is a different set of tokens which kinda tells the model like pay attention to it, it's not a normal language and not a part of the article. so we will aslo  add `ARTICLE` before the article.

and at the end just write `SUMMARY:`

***Note:*** we need to turn the temperature down to  0(zero), so zero makes the model deterministic which means we'll get the same output every time.

Syntax Example:

```
Summarize the following article:

ARTICLE
<Your article here>

SUMMARY:
```
<br />



Real Example:
```
Summarize the following article:

ARTICLE

The Irish Bee Conservation Project is a charitable organisation in Ireland that seeks to conserve all native Irish bee species. It has four "pillars of support" in its work: providing habitats, increasing biodiversity, holding education events and performing research into the decline of bee species.[1] Species of bee in Ireland include the honeybee (Apis mellifera), 21 species of bumblebee and 78 species of solitary bee.[2]

History

The Irish Bee Conservation Project (IBCP) grew out of a research project looking at honeybees and the Varroa mite and was formed in 2019 as a not for profit private company limited by guarantee. That same year it designed and installed its first honeybee "lodges" in Fota Wildlife Park, County Cork.[1]

In 2021, the Irish Bee Conservation Project registered as a charity with the Charities Regulator of Ireland.[3]

*** sometimes the temperature no longer has the same impact. and you'll get different output each time.***


You can modify the instruction with adjectives like `very concisely` and `CONCISE`, so it will activate the different part of GPT-3 model, it says what `CONCISE` mean, make it smaller.
Syntax Example:

```
Summarize the following article very concisely:

ARTICLE
<Your article here>

CONCISE SUMMARY:
```
You'll get shorter output.


**But if you increase the temperature, you also need to remove the word `CONSICE` and `very concisely` in order to get a completely different output.**




### 3) Rewrite
rewrite an article to be more interesting for reader.

```
Rewrite the following Wikipedia article so that it's more interesting for an online news article:

The Irish Bee Conservation Project (IBCP) is a charitable organisation in Ireland that seeks to conserve all native Irish bee species. It has four "pillars of support" in its work: providing habitats, increasing biodiversity, holding education events and performing research into the decline of bee species.  

The IBCP was formed in 2019 as a not for profit private company limited by guarantee, and registered as a charity with the Charities Regulator of Ireland in 2021. The organisation's work is based on four pillars: providing habitats, increasing biodiversity, holding education events and performing research into the decline of bee species.  

The IBCP's first project was to design and install honeybee "lodges" in Fota Wildlife Park, County Cork. The lodges provide a habitat for wild bees, and also help to increase biodiversity by providing a home for a range of bee species. The IBCP also holds education events to raise awareness of the importance of bees, and performs research into the decline of bee populations.  

The IBCP's work is important in conserving Ireland's native bee species and helping to reverse the decline of bee populations.

The Irish Bee Conservation Project is a charity that helps bees in Ireland. It has four parts to its work: providing habitats, increasing biodiversity, holding education events and researching why bee populations are declining.  

There are three different types of bees in Ireland- the honeybee, the bumblebee and the solitary bee.  

The Irish Bee Conservation Project started in 2019 when some people decided they wanted to help bees. That same year, they designed and installed the first bee habitats in Fota Wildlife Park.  

In 2021, the Irish Bee Conservation Project became an official charity. This means that it is registered with the Charities Regulator of Ireland.
