- In short
- Matching technique to task applies the technique-selection heuristic to concrete tasks. A well-specified, low-ambiguity classification into a small fixed set of categories is typically zero-shot. Extracting structured fields from inputs with highly variable layout benefits from few-shot examples that demonstrate the target structure. A judgment that depends on multiple interacting conditions benefits from chain-of-thought so the reasoning path is made explicit and checkable. A short, simple summarization is usually zero-shot.
