Question on the Role of Thought Template

[lyf-00]

First of all, I want to express my appreciation for the work. It is an innovative and insightful approach.

From my understanding, once a thought template is found in the buffer, the thought template and the distilled problem are resubmitted to the LLM (e.g., GPT-4) to generate the final answer.

Using math reasoning as an example, can this be considered a form of 1-shot accuracy, where the thought template acts as a kind of example?
