MultiTool-CoT: GPT-3 Can Use Multiple External Tools with Chain of Thought Prompting
Tatsuro Inaba, Hirokazu Kiyomaru, Fei Cheng, Sadao Kurohashi
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive performance on various reasoning tasks. To further improve the performance, we propose MultiTool-CoT, a novel framework that leverages chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting to incorporate multiple external tools, such as a calculator and a knowledge retriever, during the reasoning process. We apply MultiTool-CoT to the Task 2 dataset of NumGLUE, which requires both numerical reasoning and domain-specific knowledge. The experiments show that our method significantly outperforms strong baselines and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
