# Technical Data Extraction: HotPotQA Success Rate
## 1. Header Information
* **Title:** (a) HotPotQA Success Rate
* **Y-Axis Label:** Proportion of Solved Tasks
* **X-Axis Label:** Trial Number
## 2. Spatial Grounding & Legend
The legend is located in the upper-left quadrant of the chart area. It identifies four distinct data series:
| Legend Label | Line Style | Marker Shape | Color |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **CoT only** | Dashed | Circle | Dark Grey |
| **ReAct only** | Dashed | Circle | Light Grey |
| **CoT + Reflexion** | Solid | Diamond | Red |
| **ReAct + Reflexion** | Solid | Diamond | Blue |
## 3. Axis Scales
* **Y-Axis Range:** 0.1 to 0.8 (increments of 0.2 labeled: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8).
* **X-Axis Range:** 0 to 6 (increments of 2 labeled: 0, 2, 4, 6).
## 4. Data Series Analysis & Trends
### CoT only (Dark Grey, Dashed)
* **Trend:** Nearly horizontal/flat. Shows negligible improvement across trials.
* **Data Points:** Starts at ~0.32 at Trial 0 and remains constant at ~0.33 through Trial 4.
### ReAct only (Light Grey, Dashed)
* **Trend:** Completely horizontal/flat. No improvement across trials.
* **Data Points:** Constant at ~0.34 from Trial 0 through Trial 6.
### CoT + Reflexion (Red, Solid)
* **Trend:** Upward slope from Trial 0 to Trial 2, then plateaus.
* **Data Points:**
* Trial 0: ~0.32
* Trial 1: ~0.37
* Trial 2: ~0.40
* Trial 3: ~0.40
* Trial 4: ~0.40 (End of series)
### ReAct + Reflexion (Blue, Solid)
* **Trend:** Consistent upward slope across all trials, achieving the highest success rate.
* **Data Points:**
* Trial 0: ~0.32
* Trial 1: ~0.42
* Trial 2: ~0.48
* Trial 3: ~0.50
* Trial 4: ~0.52
* Trial 5: ~0.54
* Trial 6: ~0.54
## 5. Summary of Findings
The chart demonstrates that the "Reflexion" enhancement significantly improves the success rate of both CoT and ReAct methods over multiple trials. While "CoT only" and "ReAct only" remain stagnant at a success rate between 0.3 and 0.4, the "ReAct + Reflexion" combination shows the most significant growth, peaking at approximately 0.54 by Trial 6. "CoT + Reflexion" shows initial improvement but plateaus earlier (at Trial 2) with a success rate of 0.40.
