What is Active-Prompt Prompting?

Active-Prompt Prompting is one of the well-known prompting techniques used to interact with artificial intelligence models.

• Prompt Type: Advanced Structuring
• Definition: The AI flags unclear cases and asks a human for clarification to improve its response.
• Typical Use Case: Handling ambiguous inputs, like sentiment analysis with slang or context-dependent phrases.
• Advantages: Improves accuracy in ambiguous cases; leverages human expertise.
• Disadvantages: Requires human intervention; slows down the process.
• Implementation Tips: Encourage the AI to ask specific questions when it’s unsure, like “Is this phrase positive or negative?”
• Skill Level Required: Intermediate – Needs ability to interpret AI questions and provide clear clarifications.

Examples:

1. “For the review ‘This phone is fire!’, ask a human if it’s positive or negative.”
2. “For the comment ‘That’s dope!’, clarify with a human whether it’s positive or negative.”
3. “For the phrase ‘This is unreal!’, ask a human to confirm its sentiment.”
