Many existing automatic methods need access to model internals, or they search the prompt space without a clear direction. The authors introduce ProTeGi (Prompt Optimization with Textual Gradients), a nonparametric method that needs only labelled… 2. **[Effective Domain Mixing for Neural Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/britz-2017-effective-domain-mixing-neural-machine/)** *(2017 · 155 citations)* NMT systems are often trained on pooled data from very different sources, but simply concatenating such corpora can lower quality on each individual domain. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chenguang Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenguang-zhu/) - [Dan Iter](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dan-iter/) - [Denny Britz](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/denny-britz/) - [Jerry Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jerry-li/) - [Michael Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-zeng/) - [Quoc V.
