Why Prompt Optimization Works, and Why It Sometimes Doesn't: A Causal-Inspired Edit-Level Analysis
This paper conducts a causal-inspired analysis of automated prompt optimization across frameworks, LLMs, and tasks, identifying that specific edit types (e.g., complexity-increasing, meta-instructional) have systematic negative or positive effects depending on task characteristics, explaining generalization failures.
From Monolithic to Modular: Segment-level Automatic Prompt Optimization
This paper introduces SAPO, a segment-level automatic prompt optimization method that decomposes prompts into role, context, tasks, and output format, then applies targeted improvements based on weak and strong examples. Evaluated across several benchmarks, SAPO outperforms strong APO baselines including APE, OPRO, EvoPrompt, GEPA, and StraGO on GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4o-mini.
Self-Supervised Prompt Optimization
This paper introduces Self-Supervised Prompt Optimization (SPO), a framework that optimizes prompts for LLMs without external references by using output comparisons, significantly reducing costs and data requirements.
