Question 590
The business case is: A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field. Which TWO options together provide a suitable intervention and an independent acceptance check? (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
The intervention for the stated situation A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field is: Use an explicit zero-shot instruction when the task is sufficiently clear without embedded examples, including the expected output contract. It directly mitigates: A vague instruction can yield inconsistent output format and give a false impression that the model needs retraining.
A separate outcome check for the situation A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field is: Unseen inputs satisfy the defined schema and task rules without examples in the prompt. It measures the effect of the selected intervention rather than relying on the existence of a proposal.
Incorrect Answers
This choice addresses one-shot and few-shot prompting; its main associated risk is: Examples that are narrow, mislabeled or leaked from the test set can mislead results and inflate evaluations. However, the situation A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field is primarily about zero-shot prompting for clear tasks. The targeted decision is: Use an explicit zero-shot instruction when the task is sufficiently clear without embedded examples, including the expected output contract.
This choice addresses role prompting and bounded response style; its main associated risk is: A role instruction can shape language but cannot replace application permissions or professional qualifications. However, the situation A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field is primarily about zero-shot prompting for clear tasks. The targeted decision is: Use an explicit zero-shot instruction when the task is sufficiently clear without embedded examples, including the expected output contract.
This choice addresses prompt chaining and staged quality gates; its main associated risk is: Combining fact extraction and irreversible actions in one opaque prompt can propagate unchecked mistakes into business systems. However, the situation A system extracts a date from standard text using an explicit output field is primarily about zero-shot prompting for clear tasks. The targeted decision is: Use an explicit zero-shot instruction when the task is sufficiently clear without embedded examples, including the expected output contract.
