用分类器指导提示词，让大模型在信用违约预测中更准且召回更高。

Credit-default prediction is an important task in financial decision making. Traditional methods use fitted classifiers such as logistic regression and random forests on tabular features. Large language models (LLMs) have recently been applied to this task through prompting. In this work we study how a fitted classifier and an LLM can be combined for credit-default prediction. We distinguish telling the LLM to imitate a classifier from using the classifier to build the prompt. We hypothesize that a fitted classifier can supply the ranking ability that an LLM prompt lacks. We experiment on the Default of Credit Card Clients dataset, and report recall, F1, and the area under the ROC and precision-recall curves, with bootstrap confidence intervals. We observe that a few-shot LLM has the highest recall (0.47) and F1 (0.50) of any single model but ranks worse than a random forest (AUC-ROC 0.72 against 0.79). Instructing the LLM to imitate a classifier gives no significant change. Pruning the prompt to the classifier's eight most important features raises recall by 0.071 and F1 by 0.032. Adding the classifier's predicted probability to the prompt raises the LLM's AUC-ROC from 0.72 to 0.78, matching the random forest, while keeping 0.118 higher recall than it. The reverse composition, and the use of several classifiers, do not help. We thus recommend a simple classifier-guided prompt for LLM-based credit prediction.
