Chain of Density

Definitions

1. A prompting approach for iterative summarization in which each revision preserves important information while becoming more information-dense and compact. It is used to improve summary quality by forcing successive refinements rather than one-shot compression.

   In plain English: A prompting method that repeatedly makes a summary denser while keeping key details.

   Example: "They used chain of density prompting to produce executive summaries that stayed concise without dropping critical legal qualifiers."
