AgentCue：用统计摘要引导去中心化多智能体自组织

Abstract:Multi-agent systems (MAS) combine multiple agents to solve complex tasks, and recent MAS scale to more than a thousand agents. At this scale, decentralized MAS remove the central orchestrator that assigns sub-tasks, and the agents, which we call workers, self-organize through their own choices of sub-tasks and collaborators on a shared board. As workers keep adding participation and collaboration records, however, the information explodes: workers spend more and more effort on reading the records of other workers, and self-organization loses efficiency. In the statistical view, we represent the execution history of an MAS by two continually updated networks, a collaboration network among workers and a participation network between workers and task types. We then propose AgentCue, a method built on a new latent space model that places workers and task types in a shared latent space. At each checkpoint, that is, after a fixed number of sessions of the workers, the estimated parameters of the latent space model form a compact and interpretable statistical summary, and workers use the statistical summary to choose sub-tasks and collaborators without repeated searches of the shared board. We also provide theoretical results on model identifiability and estimation accuracy for continually updated networks. Experiments on three benchmarks for cross-document reasoning, mathematical theorem proving, and software patch generation show that AgentCue improves the efficiency, accuracy, and interpretability of self-organization.
