4.5 Ablation Studies

To assess the impact of different factors of our method on overall performance, we conduct ablation
experiments on the GSM8K dataset. More speciﬁcally, We investigate the effect of the number of
iterations in weak bootstrapping on performance and compare the effectiveness of our method in
generating CoT with other approaches.
