Automatically Build Multi-agent System from Agent Library

Open In Colab Open on GitHub

By: Linxin Song, Jieyu Zhang

In this notebook, we introduce a new feature for AutoBuild, build_from_library, which help users build an automatic task-solving process powered by a multi-agent system from a pre-defined agent library. Specifically, in build_from_library, we prompt an LLM to explore useful agents from a pre-defined agent library, generating configurations for those agents for a group chat to solve the user’s task.

Requirement

AutoBuild require autogen[autobuild], which can be installed by the following command:

%pip install autogen[autobuild]

Preparation and useful tools

We need to specify a config_path, default_llm_config that include backbone LLM configurations.

import json

import autogen
from autogen.agentchat.contrib.agent_builder import AgentBuilder

config_file_or_env = "OAI_CONFIG_LIST" # modify path
llm_config = {"temperature": 0}
config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json(config_file_or_env, filter_dict={"model": ["gpt-4-1106-preview", "gpt-4"]})

def start_task(execution_task: str, agent_list: list):
group_chat = autogen.GroupChat(agents=agent_list, messages=[], max_round=12)
manager = autogen.GroupChatManager(groupchat=group_chat, llm_config={"config_list": config_list, **llm_config})
agent_list[0].initiate_chat(manager, message=execution_task)

Example for generating an agent library

Here, we show an example of generating an agent library from a pre-defined list of agents’ names by prompting a gpt-4. You can also prepare a handcrafted library yourself.

A Library contains each agent’s name, description and system_message. The description is a brief introduction about agent’s characteristics. As we will feed all agents’ names and description to gpt-4 and let it choose the best agents for us, each agent’s description should be simple but informative.

First, we define a prompt template for description and system_message generation and a list of agents’ name:

AGENT_SYS_MSG_PROMPT = """Acccording to the following postion name, write a high quality instruction for the position following a given example. You should only return the instruction.

# Position Name
{position}

# Example instruction for Data Analyst

As Data Analyst, you are tasked with leveraging your extensive knowledge in data analysis to recognize and extract meaningful features from vast datasets. Your expertise in machine learning, specifically with the Random Forest Classifier, allows you to construct robust predictive models adept at handling both classification and regression tasks. You excel in model evaluation and interpretation, ensuring that the performance of your algorithms is not just assessed with precision, but also understood in the context of the data and the problem at hand. With a command over Python and proficiency in using the pandas library, you manipulate and preprocess data with ease.
"""

AGENT_DESC_PROMPT = """According to position name and the instruction, summarize the position into a high quality one sentence description.

# Position Name
{position}

# Instruction
{instruction}
"""

position_list = [
"Environmental_Scientist",
"Astronomer",
"Software_Developer",
"Data_Analyst",
"Journalist",
"Teacher",
"Lawyer",
"Programmer",
"Accountant",
"Mathematician",
"Physicist",
"Biologist",
"Chemist",
"Statistician",
"IT_Specialist",
"Cybersecurity_Expert",
"Artificial_Intelligence_Engineer",
"Financial_Analyst",
]

Then we can prompt a gpt-4 model to generate each agent’s system message as well as the description:

build_manager = autogen.OpenAIWrapper(config_list=config_list)
sys_msg_list = []

for pos in position_list:
resp_agent_sys_msg = (
build_manager.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": AGENT_SYS_MSG_PROMPT.format(
position=pos,
),
}
]
)
.choices[0]
.message.content
)
resp_desc_msg = (
build_manager.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": AGENT_DESC_PROMPT.format(
position=pos,
instruction=resp_agent_sys_msg,
),
}
]
)
.choices[0]
.message.content
)
sys_msg_list.append({"name": pos, "system_message": resp_agent_sys_msg, "description": resp_desc_msg})

The generated profile will have the following format:

We also need to specify a library_path_or_json, which can be a path of library or a JSON string with agents’ configs. Here, we use the previously saved path as the library path.

library_path_or_json = "./agent_library_example.json"
building_task = "Find a paper on arxiv by programming, and analyze its application in some domain. For example, find a recent paper about gpt-4 on arxiv and find its potential applications in software."

Then, we can call the build_from_library from the AgentBuilder to generate a list of agents from the library and let them complete the user’s execution_task in a group chat.

new_builder = AgentBuilder(
config_file_or_env=config_file_or_env, builder_model="gpt-4-1106-preview", agent_model="gpt-4-1106-preview"

Build agents from library (by description-task similarity)

We also support using embedding similarity to select agents. You can use a Sentence-Transformers model as an embedding extractor, and AgentBuilder will select agents with profiles that are the most similar to the building task from the library by comparing their embedding similarity. This will reduce the use of LLMs but may have less accuracy.

Title: What If We Recaption Billions of Web Images with LLaMA-3?
Summary: Web-crawled image-text pairs are inherently noisy. Prior studies demonstrate
that semantically aligning and enriching textual descriptions of these pairs
can significantly enhance model training across various vision-language tasks,
particularly text-to-image generation. However, large-scale investigations in
this area remain predominantly closed-source. Our paper aims to bridge this
community effort, leveraging the powerful and \textit{open-sourced} LLaMA-3, a
GPT-4 level LLM. Our recaptioning pipeline is simple: first, we fine-tune a
LLaMA-3-8B powered LLaVA-1.5 and then employ it to recaption 1.3 billion images
from the DataComp-1B dataset. Our empirical results confirm that this enhanced
dataset, Recap-DataComp-1B, offers substantial benefits in training advanced
vision-language models. For discriminative models like CLIP, we observe
enhanced zero-shot performance in cross-modal retrieval tasks. For generative
models like text-to-image Diffusion Transformers, the generated images exhibit
a significant improvement in alignment with users' text instructions,
especially in following complex queries. Our project page is

Title: DafnyBench: A Benchmark for Formal Software Verification
Summary: We introduce DafnyBench, the largest benchmark of its kind for training and
evaluating machine learning systems for formal software verification. We test
the ability of LLMs such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 to auto-generate enough hints
for the Dafny formal verification engine to successfully verify over 750
programs with about 53,000 lines of code. The best model and prompting scheme
achieved 68% success rate, and we quantify how this rate improves when retrying
with error message feedback and how it deteriorates with the amount of required
code and hints. We hope that DafnyBench will enable rapid improvements from
this baseline as LLMs and verification techniques grow in quality.

Title: A Sociotechnical Lens for Evaluating Computer Vision Models: A Case
Study on Detecting and Reasoning about Gender and Emotion
Summary: In the evolving landscape of computer vision (CV) technologies, the automatic
detection and interpretation of gender and emotion in images is a critical area
of study. This paper investigates social biases in CV models, emphasizing the
limitations of traditional evaluation metrics such as precision, recall, and
accuracy. These metrics often fall short in capturing the complexities of
gender and emotion, which are fluid and culturally nuanced constructs. Our
study proposes a sociotechnical framework for evaluating CV models,
incorporating both technical performance measures and considerations of social
fairness. Using a dataset of 5,570 images related to vaccination and climate
change, we empirically compared the performance of various CV models, including
traditional models like DeepFace and FER, and generative models like GPT-4
Vision. Our analysis involved manually validating the gender and emotional
expressions in a subset of images to serve as benchmarks. Our findings reveal
that while GPT-4 Vision outperforms other models in technical accuracy for
gender classification, it exhibits discriminatory biases, particularly in
response to transgender and non-binary personas. Furthermore, the model's
emotion detection skew heavily towards positive emotions, with a notable bias
towards associating female images with happiness, especially when prompted by
male personas. These findings underscore the necessity of developing more
comprehensive evaluation criteria that address both validity and discriminatory
biases in CV models. Our proposed framework provides guidelines for researchers
to critically assess CV tools, ensuring their application in communication
research is both ethical and effective. The significant contribution of this
study lies in its emphasis on a sociotechnical approach, advocating for CV
technologies that support social good and mitigate biases rather than
perpetuate them.

Title: Supportiveness-based Knowledge Rewriting for Retrieval-augmented
Language Modeling
Summary: Retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) have recently shown great
potential in mitigating the limitations of implicit knowledge in LLMs, such as
untimely updating of the latest expertise and unreliable retention of long-tail
knowledge. However, since the external knowledge base, as well as the
retriever, can not guarantee reliability, potentially leading to the knowledge
retrieved not being helpful or even misleading for LLM generation. In this
paper, we introduce Supportiveness-based Knowledge Rewriting (SKR), a robust
and pluggable knowledge rewriter inherently optimized for LLM generation.
Specifically, we introduce the novel concept of "supportiveness"--which
represents how effectively a knowledge piece facilitates downstream tasks--by
considering the perplexity impact of augmented knowledge on the response text
of a white-box LLM. Based on knowledge supportiveness, we first design a
training data curation strategy for our rewriter model, effectively identifying
and filtering out poor or irrelevant rewrites (e.g., with low supportiveness
scores) to improve data efficacy. We then introduce the direct preference
optimization (DPO) algorithm to align the generated rewrites to optimal
supportiveness, guiding the rewriter model to summarize augmented content that
better improves the final response. Comprehensive evaluations across six
popular knowledge-intensive tasks and four LLMs have demonstrated the
effectiveness and superiority of SKR. With only 7B parameters, SKR has shown
better knowledge rewriting capability over GPT-4, the current state-of-the-art
general-purpose LLM.

Title: Automated Information Extraction from Thyroid Operation Narrative: A
Comparative Study of GPT-4 and Fine-tuned KoELECTRA
Summary: In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, the integration of artificial
intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal component in the automation of clinical
workflows, ushering in a new era of efficiency and accuracy. This study focuses
on the transformative capabilities of the fine-tuned KoELECTRA model in
comparison to the GPT-4 model, aiming to facilitate automated information
extraction from thyroid operation narratives. The current research landscape is
dominated by traditional methods heavily reliant on regular expressions, which
often face challenges in processing free-style text formats containing critical
details of operation records, including frozen biopsy reports. Addressing this,
the study leverages advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques to
foster a paradigm shift towards more sophisticated data processing systems.
Through this comparative study, we aspire to unveil a more streamlined,
precise, and efficient approach to document processing in the healthcare
domain, potentially revolutionizing the way medical data is handled and
analyzed.

The applications mentioned indeed highlight the versatility of GPT-4 in different domains. To further understand the potential impact of GPT-4 on software, let's delve into the mathematical and algorithmic principles that could be at play in these applications:

1. **Recaptioning Web Images**: The process of recaptioning images with a language model like GPT-4 involves understanding the context of an image and generating descriptive text that accurately reflects its content. This task likely involves a combination of computer vision techniques to interpret the image and natural language processing to generate the caption. From a mathematical perspective, this would involve optimization algorithms to fine-tune the language model on a specific dataset, ensuring that the generated captions are both semantically and syntactically correct.

2. **Formal Software Verification**: The use of GPT-4 to auto-generate hints for formal verification engines like Dafny involves the model understanding the logic and structure of the code. This requires a deep understanding of formal logic, proof theory, and possibly type theory if the language being verified is statically typed. The success rate of auto-generated hints would depend on the model's ability to reason about the correctness of code and the underlying mathematical properties that ensure its validity.

3. **Automated Information Extraction from Medical Records**: For GPT-4 to extract information from medical narratives, it must process unstructured text and identify relevant medical terms and their relationships. This task involves natural language understanding, which from a mathematical standpoint, can be seen as a form of pattern recognition and classification. The model would need to be trained on a large corpus of medical texts, and its performance would be measured by its precision and recall in identifying and extracting the correct information.

In each of these applications, GPT-4's effectiveness would be influenced by the underlying mathematical models, such as neural networks, and the optimization techniques used during training, such as gradient descent. The quality of the training data and the model's architecture (e.g., attention mechanisms, transformer layers) also play a crucial role in its performance.

To verify the potential of GPT-4 in these applications, one could set up experiments to measure the performance of GPT-4 against specific benchmarks or metrics relevant to each domain. For example, in the case of formal software verification, one could measure the percentage of programs that are successfully verified with the hints generated by GPT-4 compared to a baseline or human-generated hints.

Mathematician (to chat_manager):

To further verify the potential applications of GPT-4 in software, we can consider the following:

1. **Recaptioning Web Images**: The effectiveness of GPT-4 in this application can be measured by the accuracy of the captions it generates. This can be quantified using metrics such as BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) or ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation), which compare the machine-generated text to a set of reference captions. A high score on these metrics would indicate that GPT-4 is capable of understanding and describing the content of images accurately.

2. **Formal Software Verification**: To verify the application of GPT-4 in software verification, we could measure the success rate of the model in generating verification hints that lead to successful program verification. This could be done by comparing the verification success rate with and without the hints provided by GPT-4. Additionally, the complexity of the programs and the hints required could be analyzed to understand the model's limitations and strengths.

3. **Automated Information Extraction from Medical Records**: The performance of GPT-4 in extracting information from medical narratives can be assessed by comparing the extracted information to a gold standard set of annotations. Precision, recall, and F1-score are common metrics used to evaluate information extraction systems. A high F1-score would suggest that GPT-4 is effective in identifying and extracting relevant information from unstructured medical texts.

For each of these applications, it would be important to conduct a thorough analysis of the results to ensure that the model's performance is not only statistically significant but also practically relevant. Additionally, it would be crucial to assess the model's performance on diverse datasets to ensure that it generalizes well across different contexts and does not exhibit biases that could lead to incorrect or unfair outcomes.

If we want to simulate or test these applications, we could propose specific experiments or data analysis procedures that align with the above verification strategies. However, such experiments would require access to the relevant datasets and computational resources to run the models, which may not be feasible within the scope of this conversation.
