Flashcard: what is Tree of Thoughts (ToT) prompting and what problem does it solve?

Flashcard: what is self-consistency prompting and what does it produce as a final answer?

Why does self-consistency require temperature > 0 and what specifically happens if you set T = 0?

When is self-refine (LLM critiques its own draft and revises) a better choice than self-consistency (vote across N parallel samples)?

Explain why self-consistency requires temperature > 0 and quantify the gain it produces over single-pass CoT on math benchmarks.

How does self-consistency improve over single-pass Chain-of-Thought and what's the most important prerequisite for it to work?
