The work addresses a failure mode in LLM-feedback prompt rewriting, where iteratively optimized prompts grow longer and accumulate narrow sample-specific content.", "body_md": "Large language models (LLMs) are highly sensitive to the prompts used to specify task objectives and behavioral constraints. Many recent prompt optimization methods iteratively rewrite prompts using LLM-generated feedback, but the resulting prompts often become longer, accumulate narrow sample-speci", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/textreg-mitigating-prompt-distributional-overfitting-via-regularized-text-space", "canonical_source": "https://aiflash.com/news/131807/", "published_at": "2026-10-06 07:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-06 07:17:33.738463+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-research", "natural-language-processing", "machine-learning"], "entities": ["TextReg", "large language models"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/textreg-mitigating-prompt-distributional-overfitting-via-regularized-text-space", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/textreg-mitigating-prompt-distributional-overfitting-via-regularized-text-space.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/textreg-mitigating-prompt-distributional-overfitting-via-regularized-text-space.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/textreg-mitigating-prompt-distributional-overfitting-via-regularized-text-space.jsonld"}}
