Graph of Thoughts
Graph of Thoughts (GoT) models a language model's reasoning as an arbitrary graph, in which thoughts can be combined, refined, and looped back on, generalizing chain and tree structures.
Description
Aggregation of several partial solutions into one, such as merging sorted sublists, is the key operation GoT adds over tree-shaped search.
