Applications and prospects of prompt engineering in pharmaceutical popularization
This study aims to establish a prompt engineering system for large language models in pharmaceutical popularization, and provide references for pharmacists to carry out efficient and standardized science popularization work.
METHODS
2
This study systematically expounded the principles and classifications of prompt engineering, as well as its effect on alleviating problems including model output hallucinations and poor interpretability. The design and optimization strategies of prompt engineering were defined for two core scenarios, namely text-to-text and text-to-image. Typical examples were adopted to compare the output effects before and after application. In addition, the limitations of prompt engineering applied in pharmaceutical popularization at the current stage were summarized.
RESULTS
2
In the two major scenarios of pharmaceutical popularization, well-designed prompt engineering improved the accuracy, readability and efficiency of outputs generated by large language models, and produced personalized popularization content adapted to clinical practice.
CONCLUSIONS
2
Prompt engineering can effectively improve the output quality of pharmaceutical popularization. The formulated standardized prompt engineering templates tailored for pharmaceutical popularization, can help pharmacists improve the efficiency and quality of popularization content creation.
