Study Notes

Adaptive In-conversation Team Building for Language Model Agents

  • Static Build: Teams are built before task execution, containing all required expertise. This can be challenging to manage larger, more complex tasks as more team members are needed.
  • Adaptive Build: Teams are built dynamically during the task, adjusting to the needs of each step. This approach is more flexible, utilizes nested group conversations and reflection to maintain diverse expertise and prevent repetitive outputs. This method leverages a "Captain Agent" that dynamically builds, manages, and maintains teams for each task phase.

Abstract

  • Adaptive team-building paradigm: A novel approach for handling complex tasks using multiple LLM agents.
  • Captain Agent: A new agent design that dynamically forms and manages teams for each step of a task, using nested conversations and reflection for diverse expertise and avoids repeated outputs.
  • Evaluation: Across six real-world scenarios, Captain Agent significantly outperforms existing multi-agent methods, showing a 21.94% improvement in average accuracy without requiring scenario-specific prompt engineering.

Introduction

  • Large Language Models (LLM): Capabilities in in-context learning, planning, tool-use, and conversation make them suitable for multi-agent systems.
  • Multi-agent Systems: Mimicking human team building and collaboration abilities in multiple LLM agents.
  • Human Team Building: Involves communication, social cognition, problem-solving, social learning, and shared intentionality. This enables effective team formation and problem-solving.
  • Problem: Building an effective team of LLM agents for a given task remains a challenge.

Adaptive In-conversation Team Building

  • Key components: Adaptive multi-agent team-building and nested group conversation with a reflection mechanism.
  • Workflow: Captain Agent is prompted to create a plan for the task, which goes through iterative steps, building an agent team, having them solve decomposed subtasks using tool-assisted conversation, reflecting on the team performance, and either adjusting team composition or instructions until the task is complete.

Evaluation

  • Scenarios: Mathematics, programming, data analysis, world information retrieval, scientific scenarios (chemistry, physics).
  • Dataset selection: Based on the ability to demonstrate the specific skills and performance metrics of multi-agent systems in a well-rounded dataset.
  • Comparison methods: Vanilla LLM, AutoAgents, Meta-prompting, a two-agent system, and existing baselines like GAIA_Orchestrator, FRIDAY, Warm-up Act, and HuggingFace Agent.

Benefits of Adaptive Build Versus Static Build

  • Team Adaptability: Adaptive teams can adjust membership to better match the demands of each specific subtask in a continuously evolving manner, whereas static teams may lack this adaptability.
  • Optimized Agent Selection: Adaptively creating teams to solve tasks using the respective strengths of various agents, whereas a static team may have redundant members or missing crucial skills.
  • Dynamic Team Optimization: Adaptive teams can adapt and refine their composition and strategy during the task, whereas the expertise in fixed static teams can lead to suboptimal or inefficient processes.
  • Reduced Redundancy: Adaptive teams are less prone to the problem of selecting redundant agents, allowing more significant specialization and preventing wasted efforts, whereas static builds can overload team members with unnecessary duties.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): Include reasoning, planning, and adaptability.
  • Multi-agent systems: Various approaches exist for forming teams (e.g., static, reactive, adaptive) and utilizing tools.
