Directional Stimulus Prompting

A prompt engineering technique for large language models that provides specific keywords or directional stimuli to guide the model toward generating output focused on particular aspects or attributes. In accessibility applications, DSP is used to produce targeted, aspect-specific summaries of content, such as summarizing only the food-related positive comments from a set of restaurant reviews. By directing the model's attention to specific topics and sentiments, DSP helps generate concise, relevant summaries that reduce information overload for screen reader users and other assistive technology users who benefit from structured, focused content.
