2310.06775 | 75 | Task Prosecution Layer: To clean the home, Jeevesâ Task Prosecution Layer executes debris pickup, floor vacuuming, mopping, clothes folding, dishware manipulation, surface wiping, and other required motions and actions. The layer interfaces the physical hardware to enact the planned cleaning routines. For repair coordination, the Task Prosecution Layer makes calls, sends emails, and negotiates optimally favorable service terms. It tracks project timelines, payments, and contractor evaluations to maximize accountability. Jeeves aims to provide reliable home improvements at affordable costs to the family.
Adaptation: Throughout all tasks, continuous feedback based on sensed outcomes and family responses propagates up Jeevesâ ACE framework. This allows frequently adjusting behaviors and plans to better adhere to its integrated ethical principles and mission of dutifully serving the familyâs interests in a helpful, responsible manner.
This additional example demonstrates how the robotâs ACE framework enables adapting its tidying behaviors | 2310.06775#75 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

2310.02263 | 76 | Instruction #3 LLaMA SFT on GPT-4 LLaMA Curricu- lum DPO (Cur- riculum 3) What are the best exercises for beginners? The following list of exercises is designed to target all the major muscle groups and help beginners achieve a well-rounded fitness routine. Squats: Squats are a great exercise for building strength in the legs, glutes and core. Itâs recommended that you start with a weight that you can handle for 6-8 reps to start, and then gradually increase the weight over time. Deadlifts: Deadlifts are great for building strength in the back, hips and glutes. Start by using a lighter weight and gradually increase the weight over time. Push-ups: Push-ups are a great exercise for building upper body strength, especially the chest, shoulders and triceps. Start by doing a few reps and gradually increase the number of reps over time. Planks: Planks are a great exercise for building core strength, and there are many variations to choose from. Start with a short plank hold, then gradually increase the duration and intensity over time. Sit-ups: Sit-ups are a great exercise for the abdominals. Start with a slow, controlled motion and gradually increase the number | 2310.02263#76 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

There are two main kinds of genetic algorithms that we saw the language model propose: first, those where fitness is mostly implicit and survival is primarily controlled by the crossover-based decisions of the language model (i.e., the language model is asked to combine two solutions, theoretically with the ability to disregard one or the other); alternatively, the utilities could be explicitly considered and used to rank the candidates.

# Example Genetic Algorithm with Implicit Fitness | 2310.02304#76 | Self-Taught Optimizer (STOP): Recursively Self-Improving Code Generation | Several recent advances in AI systems (e.g., Tree-of-Thoughts and
Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 76 | This additional example demonstrates how the robotâs ACE framework enables adapting its tidying behaviors
based on its current limitations, the environment context, and feedback, while aligning actions to ethical principles of cleanliness and safety. Further vignettes can illustrate capabilities like knowledge integration, task coordination, and frustration tolerance. Together, these complementary cases demonstrate the ACE frameworkâs capacity to coordinate layered cognitive processes from aspirational reasoning to task execution for adaptive decision-making across both virtual and physical domains. Further real-world testing is needed to fully assess performance, but these examples illustrate the conceptual workings and potential benefits of the ACE modelâs architectural approach.

# 5 DISCUSSION
The conceptual Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE) framework presented offers a vision for architecting ethical and
capable artificial general intelligence. This section will discuss key perspectives on the ACE framework, including industry relevance, current LLM capabilities, opportunities for future work, comparison with existing models, and practical implications. By elucidating the landscape around the ACE model, we aim to situate this conceptual contribution within the broader context of AI safety and autonomous agent research.

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.

outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the

2310.06775 | 77 | # 5.1 The Industry Perspective
The ACE framework emerged from observing the rapid growth of autonomous AI development in industry and
open source communities. As researchers studying AI advancements, we recognized the increasing urgency to create autonomous systems capable of independently achieving goals. Tech giants compete to launch household robots and self-driving cars, while startups propose virtual assistants and self-thinking drones. Open source GitHub repositories host numerous projects on autonomous game NPCs and robotic control algorithms.
However, we observed that much progress resulted from ad-hoc experimentation rather than systematic architectural
thinking. Companies combined machine learning models, hoping for autonomous performance to emerge. Hackathons produced small, incremental improvements without a comprehensive view of autonomous machines or connections to human cognition.
In response, we aimed to formalize a conceptual framework reflecting best practices for designing autonomous
systems. By examining successful developersâ approaches, we identified key principles around layered abstraction, integrated ethics, and human-aligned adaptation. This led to the Autonomous Cognitive Entity model - our attempt to offer blueprints for engineering autonomous AI.
Similar to how architectural and engineering principles evolved for complex modern buildings, the ACE framework
provides developers with a robust architecture for autonomous cognition. As the demand for capable and beneficial autonomous AI continues, we hope these conceptual blueprints assist teams in building ethical, safe, and human-centered cognitive agents. The ACE model, derived in part from field observations, aims to address the need for structured thinking on autonomous architectures. | 2310.06775#77 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.02263 | 78 | There are several exercises that can be great for beginners. Here are five general categories of exercises that are great for beginners: 1. Compound exercises: These exercises use more than one joint or muscle group to perform the movement. Examples include squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. These exercises are great for beginners because they build strength and lean muscle in multiple areas of the body at once. 2. Isolation exercises: These exercises focus on a specific muscle group or muscle fiber, using a machine or free weight to move a joint through a small range of motion, isolating the targeted muscle. These exercises are great for beginners because they help improve muscle definition and control, and they can help you feel more comfortable with weight training techniques. 3. Aerobic exercises: These exercises use large muscle groups and increase heart rate and breathing, often through continuous movement. They are great for beginners because they help improve cardiovascular health and can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. 4. Stability exercises: These exercises focus on the stabilizing muscles of the body and help improve balance and coordination. These exercises are great for beginners because they help prevent injury and improve | 2310.02263#78 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 78 | # 5.2 Current Limitations of LLMs
Large language models (LLMs) signify a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, but their limitations and proper use remain debated. Although LLMs generate fluent human-like text, their understanding depth is uncertain. Some researchers claim LLMs possess human-like reasoning, common sense, and theory of mind, while others argue they exploit surface-level statistical patterns without genuine comprehension of semantics or reality grounding. This relates to broader questions of whether capabilities like reasoning and theory of mind are well-defined or measurable in machines. Proposed benchmarks for LLMs face criticism regarding validity. For example, benchmarks testing factual knowledge are limited by training datasets and donât assess knowledge integration and reasoning. Tests of narrative understanding and theory of mind are inconclusive, as LLMs can superficially imitate abilities without true comprehension. Open challenges remain in creating benchmarks that robustly characterize capacities like common sense.
Debates continue about whether external grounding or embodiment is necessary for understanding versus purely selfcontained statistical learning. Some argue sensory experiences grounding is essential for semantics and generalization, while others suggest internal statistical coherence suffices for specialized applications. Resolving these theoretical

disputes is challenging empirically and beyond this paperâs scope. Additionally, deep philosophical puzzles persist | 2310.06775#78 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Shapiro, et al.
Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities
disputes is challenging empirically and beyond this paperâs scope. Additionally, deep philosophical puzzles persist
regarding definitions of intelligence and consciousness in LLMs. These issues intersect with ethics concerning AI rights and personhood. While these philosophical questions have historical roots, LLMs present them in new forms. If an entity exhibits all objective hallmarks of intelligence and consciousness, how do we distinguish life from non-life? Many of these questions extend well beyond the scope of this paper.
# 5.3 Practical Implications
The ACE model has extensive practical implications, applicable in various domains. Integrating large language models
and multimodal generative models, it can create autonomous systems capable of complex tasks, adapting to changes, and making ethically aligned decisions. In healthcare, the ACE model could develop autonomous agents assisting doctors in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient health monitoring. These agents could adapt their actions based on the patientâs condition, doctorâs directives, and medical ethics, ensuring effective and ethical healthcare services. In cybersecurity, the ACE model could create autonomous agents monitoring network activity, detecting security threats, and responding to attacks. These agents could adapt their actions based on the threat, security team directives, and cybersecurity principles, ensuring robust and flexible security solutions.
Overall, the ACE modelâs extensive practical implications can revolutionize autonomous systems by integrating | 2310.06775#79 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

# 5.4 Comparison with other Frameworks
A key part of assessing any new conceptual model is comparing it to existing related frameworks, analyzing the
similarities, differences, and unique contributions. This section will compare the layered architecture of the proposed Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE) model with two alternative cognitive architectures from recent research â the Autonomous Machine Intelligence (AMI) model [63] and the Cognitive Architecture for Language Agents (CoALA) framework [101]. By elucidating the key distinctions between ACE and these other approaches across each architectural layer, this analysis aims to highlight the novel aspects of ACEâs design. The comparisons focus on how the frameworks differ in their structure, capabilities, and integration of components for autonomous cognition. Examining these architectural variations provides perspective into how ACE diverges from prior architectures and establishes a distinct paradigm. | 2310.06775#80 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 81 | Aspirational Layer: The Aspirational Layer is a key conceptual innovation in the ACE framework focused on establishing high-level ethical principles, values, and imperatives to guide agent behavior. In contrast, the AMI framework lacks an explicit aspirational reasoning module, with the closest analogue being the Intrinsic Cost module encoding basic drives rather than abstract ethics. The CoALA framework incorporates some intrinsic motivations and philosophical ethics to shape objectives, but its formulation is more technical than the ACE Aspirational Layerâs natural language principles focused on idealized, universal morality. Overall, the distinct Aspirational Layer in ACE operates at a higher level of abstraction centered on moral reasoning rather than individual drives or technical metrics. By embedding ethics as the topmost oversight layer, ACE structurally enforces a clear separation between aspirational judgment and lower-level action, which AMI and CoALA lack. This architectural choice reflects ACEâs emphasis on aligning agent behavior to human values through prioritizing ethical reasoning.
Global Strategy Layer: The ACE Global Strategy Layer devises high-level plans and strategies guided by principles from the Aspirational Layer, leveraging latent knowledge within language models. This bears some resemblance to

form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

# H A Comparative Study of GPT-4V, Bard, and Other Models | 2310.02255#82 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

AMIâs World Model learning environment dynamics and CoALAâs Actor proposing action sequences. However, ACEâs
Global Strategy Layer plays a more central role in directing behavior based on ethical oversight and long-term reasoning beyond immediate actions. It provides targeted grounding to focus the language modelâs imagination toward useful outcomes aligned with the agentâs context and goals. In contrast, AMI and CoALA lack integrated top-down guidance, with planning modules focused narrowly on technical optimization.
Agent Model Layer: The ACE Agent Model Layer develops an explicit computational representation of the agentâs capabilities, architecture, and limitations. This facilitates reasoning and planning based on an embedded perspective of the agentâs self-knowledge. Neither AMI nor CoALA have an analogous distinct metacognitive self-modeling layer. Instead, AMI distributes related functions like skill learning and memory across modules like the Actor and World Model. CoALAâs Actor selects actions based on skills learned through environmental interaction rather than internal self-modeling. The segregated Agent Model Layer in ACE provides architectural innovation in integrated metacognition and self-awareness missing from both AMI and CoALA. | 2310.06775#82 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 83 | Executive Function Layer: The ACE Executive Function Layer concretizes high-level plans into detailed actionable routines, incorporating oversight responsibilities like risk assessment and resource management. This extends beyond AMIâs Actor focused narrowly on technical path planning and CoALAâs Actor converting strategic objectives into incremental action steps. ACEâs Executive Function Layer leverages robust inputs from upper layers for comprehensive pragmatic planning aligned with the agentâs principles, objectives, and limitations. In contrast, AMI and CoALA lack strong hierarchical integration between conceptual oversight and concrete planning.
Cognitive Control Layer: ACEâs Cognitive Control Layer implements metacognitive functions like frustration tolerance and cognitive damping for flexible decision-making, especially in uncertain or conflicting situations. Neither AMI nor CoALA incorporate explicit architectures for cognitive control. Their reactive approaches leaves them vulnerable in disruptive scenarios where core assumptions are invalidated. ACEâs specialized mechanisms modeled on human cognition provide crucial resilience, enabling the agent to safely and intelligently adapt when initial plans fail. This represents a key point of differentiation from AMI and CoALA. | 2310.06775#83 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

2310.06775 | 84 | Task Prosecution Layer: The ACE Task Prosecution Layer separates basic execution from cognition, which resides in higher layers. This differs from AMI and CoALA where planning and reasoning modules are tightly coupled to embodiment. By isolating general reasoning capacities from situation-specific skills, ACE gains flexibility regarding diverse interfaces to the external world. In contrast, bundling cognition and physical skills limits AMI and CoALAâs transferability across contexts relative to ACEâs emphasis on platform-independent reasoning.
While ACE shares high-level similarities with AMI and CoALA, its specialized focus on ethical reasoning, metacognition, cognitive control, and transferable reasoning differentiates its layered architecture and approach to developing beneficial autonomous intelligent systems. The comparisons illuminate ACEâs conceptual innovations in integrating human values, robust abstraction, and flexible adaptation within a hierarchical cognitive framework.
# 5.5 Philosophical Considerations
The ACE framework presents a novel approach to autonomous cognitive architectures. However, it is crucial to note
that the full ACE model has not been implemented yet. Each architectural layer is based on existing research and industry implementations of specific capabilities. For example, the Aspirational Layer for ethical reasoning builds on AI ethics and value alignment work, while the Task Prosecution Layer for skill execution utilizes advances in robotic control and natural language processing. This paper is an initial effort to combine progress across fields into a unified architectural paradigm. The next phase involves actualizing the ACE model through incremental prototyping and | 2310.06775#84 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

8. Planks: Planks are a simple, effective exercise that targets your core, arms, and glutes. This exercise can help improve your balance, strengthen your abs, and enhance your overall core stability. 9. Lunges: Lunges are a great exercise for building lower body strength, improving balance, and increasing flexibility. This exercise can be easily modified to suit different skill levels, making it a suitable option for begin- ners. 10. Stretching: Stretching is an essential component of any exercise rou- tine, as it helps to prevent injuries, improve flexibility, and increase mobil- ity. Beginners should focus on dynamic stretching before and after exercise to improve their range of motion and reduce the risk of injury. Remember to start slowly, listen to your body, and gradually increase the intensity of your exercise routine. Itâs essential to be consistent and patient, as seeing results may take time. Consult a healthcare professional or fitness professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have any existing health conditions or concerns. | 2310.02263#85 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities
comparative benchmarking against alternative approaches. We propose a methodology for rigorous, multi-faceted
evaluation of future ACE implementations, but validating the frameworkâs capabilities and benefits is ongoing future work dependent on an operational prototype system.
We present this research as an exploration of a promising design space for artificial general intelligence, rather
than making definitive claims on feasibility or benefits. The ACE model introduction aims to foster future work on autonomous architectures integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. This paper focuses on conceptual contributions rather than demonstrated benefits, situating the current work as preliminary theory development and architectural design requiring extensive practical realization and validation. Our intention is to provide the conceptual groundwork, guiding subsequent engineering efforts towards beneficial autonomous cognitive systems.
5.5.1 The Need for Grounded Meaning. A valid criticism of the ACE framework is its reliance on large language models (LLMs) for reasoning and decision-making, as they lack inherent understanding of truth or connections between symbols and real-world referents. LLMs reason based on statistical patterns over text corpora, without grounding in external reality or sophisticated theories of meaning. This lack of grounding can lead to false inferences, misunderstandings, and untrue statements, while enabling imaginative responses detached from objective facts. Without grounding, LLMs can hallucinate any version of reality, as long as it is statistically coherent with their training data. | 2310.06775#85 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

# Under Review | 2310.02174#86 | Ask Again, Then Fail: Large Language Models' Vacillations in Judgement | With the emergence of generative conversational large language models (LLMs)
like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

# A DETAILED RELATED WORK | 2310.02255#86 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

2310.02263 | 86 | Instruction #4 LLaMA SFT on GPT-4 How is oil turned into gasoline? Oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid found in the Earthâs crust. When oil is extracted from the Earth, it is refined to separate the different components and create various products, including gasoline. The process of converting oil into gasoline is called refining. During this process, oil is heated to high temperatures and then separated into its dif- ferent components. The main components of petroleum are a mix of hydrocarbons, which are molecules composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Different groups of hydrocarbons have different properties, and these properties are used to separate them during the refining process. One group of hydrocarbons is called naphtha, and it is used to make gaso- line. Naphtha is separated from other hydrocarbons during the refining process, and it is then further processed to separate it into different compo- nents, including gasoline. Gasoline is then blended with other components, including ethanol and oxygenates, to create a final product that is safe and reliable for use in cars. Once the final product is created, it is tested for quality and then distributed to gas stations, where it is used to fuel cars. Answered by Sally Wong, Assistant at HowStuffWorks.

Preprint | 2310.02263#86 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 86 | This issue emphasizes the importance of context in guiding LLM reasoning. By providing relevant assumptions and
goals, the latent knowledge within LLMs can be directed towards useful responses grounded in the current situation. Layers like the Global Strategy and Agent Model offer this contextual grounding. The Global Strategy Layer integrates real-time information about the agentâs environment and broader context, giving the LLM key facts to reason about rather than operating in a contextual vacuum. The Agent Model Layer provides self-knowledge about the agentâs capabilities and limitations, further orienting the LLM towards pragmatic responses tailored to the agentâs abilities.
Together, the contextual grounding from upper layers focuses the LLMâs generative capacity on productive outcomes
grounded in the current circumstances and directed towards the agentâs goals. Explicitly specifying the desired reasoning context is essential to beneficially leveraging the LLMâs statistical imagination while avoiding unmoored hallucinations. Integrating outside knowledge to orient the LLM and rigorously verifying outputs can mitigate risks from the lack of inherent grounding in external reality. | 2310.06775#86 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

# A DETAILED RELATED WORK
Mathematical reasoning benchmarks. Recently, numerous benchmarks (Amini et al., 2019; Cobbe et al., 2021; Mishra et al., 2022; Frieder et al., 2023) have been proposed to evaluate the math- ematical reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, most of these are tex- tual only (Lu et al., 2023c), despite a substantial amount of mathematical information and reasoning being encapsulated in visual modalities. Meanwhile, some datasets exhibit performance saturation; for instance, GPT-4 achieves 92.0% accuracy on GSM-8K (Cobbe et al., 2021), a dataset of grade- school mathematics questions. On the other hand, the recent rapid advancement of Large Multi- modal Models (LMMs) necessitates the establishment of robust multimodal benchmarks. However, current multimodal reasoning benchmarks provide limited coverage of rigorous and scientific do- mains (Antol et al., 2015; Kembhavi et al., 2016; Kahou et al., 2017; Mathew et al., 2022), which are key components for creating general-purpose AI assistants. To bridge this gap, it is crucial to develop a robust math reasoning dataset that integrates visual contexts. | 2310.02255#87 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive

Drilling - The first step is to extract crude oil from the earthâs surface through drilling. 2. Transportation - Once extracted, the oil is transported to refineries. 3. Refinement - The crude oil is heated, separated, and purified at the refin- ery to produce a number of different products, including gasoline. 4. Pipeline transportation - The gasoline is transported long distances by pipeline to gas stations and other outlets. 5. Storage - Gasoline is stored in large tanks or containers, where it can be pumped into vehicles at the gas station. 6. Pumping - The gasoline is pumped from the underground storage tank at the gas station into the vehicleâs fuel tank. 7. Consumption - The gasoline is used by the driver to power the engine of his or her vehicle, typically by burning it in the engineâs cylinders. When crude oil is extracted from the earth, it is a thick and black substance that is almost entirely composed of hydrocarbons.

2310.06775 | 87 | 5.5.2 Epistemic Considerations. The ACE framework incorporates philosophical principles to guide agent decision- making and ensure ethical alignment; however, open epistemological questions remain regarding how large language models (LLMs) represent and reason about concepts related to knowledge, truth, understanding, and meaning. Although LLMs exhibit some human-like cognitive capabilities, such as theory of mind and common sense reasoning, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and the relationship between statistical patterns in textual training data and human-like conceptual knowledge remains unclear[23, 66].
The ongoing debate questions whether LLMsâ capabilities arise from learning similar information processing strategies
as humans or from fundamentally different computational mechanisms. Training on large text corpora, like humans, could potentially lead to convergent representational spaces and reasoning abilities; however, LLMs may also develop divergent techniques specialized for statistical pattern recognition that do not reflect human understanding. Assuming LLMs gain human-like "understanding" or conceptual knowledge reconstruction from statistical co-occurrence patterns is speculative, and we lack a comprehensive grasp of how LLMs generalize epistemic models beyond their training

distributions. Significant gaps remain in understanding how LLMs represent abstractions related to truth, meaning,
inference, and semantics. Indeed, we do not fully comprehend human generalization of understanding!
While LLMs demonstrate potential in replicating aspects of human intelligence, we must exercise caution against | 2310.06775#87 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

High-quality evaluation datasets and benchmarks are a cornerstone for assessing the progress of machine learning models to solve real-world tasks Liao et al. (2021). Prior studies such as VQA (Antol et al., 2015; Goyal et al., 2017), VizWiz (Gurari et al., 2018), and ParsVQA-Caps (Mobasher et al., 2022) assess the general-purpose visual question answering abilities of the LMMs, with or without task-specific training, on open-ended questions about images.

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

These hydrocarbons are molecules that are made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms joined together in a long chain. The refineries break down these long chains into smaller molecules that are more easily processed. The most important molecules for gasoline are called paraffins. These molecules have a linear structure, meaning that they are long and straight, and they have an even number of carbon atoms. By breaking down the long chains of hydrocarbons and sep- arating out the paraffins, refineries are able to produce gasoline. Oil is transported to refineries and gas stations by pipeline, railroad, and truck. The gasoline remains in transportation tanks or in pipelines until it reaches its final destination, where it is pumped into storage tanks or di- rectly into vehicles. Then, the gasoline is pumped into the vehicleâs fuel tank and the cycle begins again, as the driver starts the car and the gasoline is burned. | 2310.02263#88 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

While LLMs demonstrate potential in replicating aspects of human intelligence, we must exercise caution against
prematurely concluding that they fully capture complex philosophical notions underpinning human cognition. Further interdisciplinary research is required to thoroughly assess the epistemic capacities and limitations of large language models in frameworks like ACE.
5.5.3 Known Gaps and Assumptions. The ACE framework integrates insights from diverse fields like neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and computer science, but significant gaps in understanding within these disciplines necessitate making assumptions. Human cognition provides limited insights into consciousness, theory of mind, and other complex mental faculties. Although the ACE framework incorporates current theories, much remains unknown about the human brainâs mechanisms underlying mind and subjective experience. Assumptions must be made regarding similarities between ACEâs cognitive layers and corresponding brain systems, but precise neuro-cognitive mappings are unclear.
In computer science, the representational capacities and limitations of artificial neural networks and large language
models are not fully characterized. While they demonstrate certain human-level abilities, their internal workings are not well understood. It is uncertain how mathematical embeddings might translate to conceptual knowledge or if different computational mechanisms are involved. The ACE framework assumes sufficient commonality to human cognition for insight transfer.
From a philosophical perspective, open questions persist regarding ontology, meaning, truth, consciousness, and | 2310.06775#88 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

2310.02263 | 89 | Oil is turned into gasoline through a multi-step process that involves refin- ing, processing, and blending. Here is a general overview of the process: 1. Crude oil extraction: Crude oil is extracted from the Earth using drilling techniques. Once the oil is extracted, it is transported to a refinery. 2. Refining: At the refinery, crude oil is processed and refined into various products, including gasoline. The refining process involves separating the oil into its different components based on their boiling points. This is done through a series of distillation columns. 3. Naming conventions: The different components of crude oil are named based on their boiling points and uses. For example, gasoline is a product obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil with a boiling range of approximately -16 to 26 degrees Celsius. 4. Gasoline production: In the gasoline production process, hydrotreating and reforming are two key steps. Hydrotreating is used to remove sulfur and other impurities from the gasoline, while reforming is used to increase the octane rating of the gasoline, making it more suitable for use in vehi- cles. 5. Blending: Once the gasoline has been produced, it is blended with other additives to improve its performance, | 2310.02263#89 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 89 | From a philosophical perspective, open questions persist regarding ontology, meaning, truth, consciousness, and
other domains. The ACE framework strives for conceptual balance but adopts a functionalist approach focused on developing beneficial autonomous systems. For example, both deontological and teleological ethics are integrated based on their complementary utility rather than assertions about metaphysical reality, acknowledging the limitations in digitally instantiating abstract philosophical notions.
Realizing the ACE vision requires making assumptions regarding gaps in current understanding at the frontiers
of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and philosophy. As research progresses, these gaps will incrementally narrow, allowing for ACE framework refinement to better match human-level cognitive capabilities. The current model represents the best synthesis given the available knowledge across these complex and interdisciplinary topics.
5.5.4 Model Dependent Ontology. It is worth noting that some philosophical perspectives argue external grounding may not be strictly necessary for language and reasoning to function effectively in artificial systems, even if it departs from human cognition. For instance, the epistemic framework of Model Dependent Ontology (MDO) [29], could offer an alternative foundation for a more advanced ACE architecture in the future. This framework posits that large language models demonstrate we do not necessarily require external "ground truth" references for language to cohere within a closed conceptual system. Rather than relying on conventional realist assumptions behind human cognition, MDO illustrates an approach focused on internal consistency and usefulness over correspondence to an imposed external world. | 2310.06775#89 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

2310.02255 | 90 | Generative foundation models and their evaluation. Recently, there has been a surge of genera- tive foundation models (Bommasani et al., 2021) that are trained on web-scale data, such as GPT-3, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, LLaMA, LLaMA-Adapter (Brown et al., 2020; OpenAI, 2022; 2023a; Anthropic, 2023; Touvron et al., 2023; Zhang et al., 2023a), with the ability to solve a wide range of downstream tasks (Wei et al., 2022a) without any task-specific finetuning. Prior work has focused on evaluating their abilities to respond to the queries from various disciplines, grounded in text, such as QA, math, medicine, coding and science (Bubeck et al., 2023; Nori et al., 2023; Chen et al., 2021; Fu et al., 2023; Sun et al., 2023; Wang et al., 2023b; Huang et al., 2023; 2022; Liu et al., 2023b; Zhang et al., 2023a). Prior work, such as PixStruct (Lee et al., 2023), MatCha (Liu et al., 2022), and UniChart (Masry et al., 2023), has focused on developing specialized pretraining recipe for improved math and chart reasoning in visual contexts. | 2310.02255#90 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Blending: Once the gasoline has been produced, it is blended with other additives to improve its performance, such as increasing its octane rating, reducing emissions, and improving fuel efficiency. The final gasoline prod- uct is then transported to distribution centers and gas stations. 6. Gasoline storage and distribution: Gasoline is stored in underground tanks and distributed to gas stations through pipelines or trucks. From there, consumers purchase the gasoline for use in their vehicles. Overall, the process of turning oil into gasoline involves a series of complex refining and processing steps, ensuring that the end product is suitable for use in vehicles and meets environmental and performance standards. | 2310.02263#90 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)

multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,

2310.06775 | 90 | Specifically, Model-Dependent Ontology affects knowledge representation in artificial agents by emphasizing
flexibility in conceptual modeling unbound by assumptions of a single objective reality. It allows coexistence of multiple valid yet incompatible models of phenomena based on differing internal assumptions. Additionally, MDO decouples models from physical constraints, enabling exploration of purely conceptual spaces detached from sensorimotor limitations. This framework judges models primarily based on their internal coherence and usability rather than accuracy to external stimuli. The emphasis is on developing maximally useful representations for a given context rather

than objectively true representations. Another form of grounding can be found in contextual references. For instance,
using several layers on the ACE helps to keep hallucinations under control by enhancing the context to more than one layer.
By relaxing realist assumptions, MDO opens possibilities for artificial systems to generate and leverage speculative
conceptual models that diverge from human consensus reality. Within this paradigm, agents can develop their own optimal conceptual symbols and ontologies without needing to ground them in a predefined external world. In essence, MDO takes a pragmatic engineering approach focused on what forms of reasoning work effectively rather than adhering to philosophical ideals of truth and grounded meaning derived from human cognition.

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their

IMPROVING PARTICULAR FUNCTIONS
# Targeted Improvement | 2310.02304#91 | Self-Taught Optimizer (STOP): Recursively Self-Improving Code Generation | Several recent advances in AI systems (e.g., Tree-of-Thoughts and
Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.06775 | 91 | This alternative perspective indicates external grounding, while critical for human-level understanding, may not be
an absolute requirement for artificial systems to operate effectively in specialized niches. The flexibility and internal coherence enabled by model-dependent reasoning suggest further exploration of non-grounded approaches could yield useful technological systems capable of reasoning in ways departing from biological cognition. As such, the merits and limitations of both grounded and non-grounded paradigms remain open research questions worthy of continued investigation within the ACE framework and artificial intelligence more broadly.

2310.02263 | 92 | Oil is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixture found deep beneath the Earthâs surface. To turn oil into gasoline, several refining processes take place at an oil refinery. Hereâs a simplified overview of the process: 1. Crude oil extraction: Crude oil is extracted from the ground using drilling techniques. Once the oil is extracted, it is transported to a refin- ery. 2. Preliminary treatment: At the refinery, the crude oil undergoes a pre- liminary treatment to remove impurities like water, sand, and other solid particles. This process involves the use of desalters, which separate the water from the oil. The oil also goes through a degasser to remove gas hy- drocarbons. 3. Distillation: The crude oil is then subjected to a process called fractional distillation. In this process, the crude oil is heated and separated into var- ious components based on their boiling points. The oil is divided into a series of distillation columns, where different fractions (such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) are collected. The gasoline-producing fractions are typ- ically collected from columns 3 to 5. 4. Treatment and stabilization: The gasoline obtained from the | 2310.02263#92 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider

2310.06775 | 92 | One crucial direction is developing detailed reference architectures, specifications, and standards based on the
high-level ACE framework. Organizations like IEEE could serve as a model for rigorously defining key aspects of the ACE layers, interactions, and interfaces. Concrete canonical instantiations would expedite the translation of the conceptual ACE model into functional implementations. Ongoing research and debate are essential for addressing philosophy, ethics, values, and aligning autonomous systems with human needs. Initiatives like AI4People foster discussions on utilizing AI to promote human dignity and rights. Collaborative forums can help guide development towards human-flourishing outcomes by further defining beneficial AI.
Empirical research is vital for evaluating implementations, capabilities, and limitations. Real-world testing through
benchmark tasks and experimental deployments will reveal strengths and areas for improvement. Developing rigorous benchmarks that avoid pitfalls like anthropic biases observed in some previous language model tests is a priority. Human- centered design insights can also inform the user experience of autonomous systems. Evidence-based research can refine the ACE framework over successive iterations, systematically progressing towards artificial general intelligence centered on human needs.
The primary path forward involves implementing and evaluating the ACE framework in applied autonomous | 2310.06775#92 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2024
Recent work of LLM prompting and GPT-4V. We have witnessed the remarkable abilities of large language models (LLMs), and their reasoning capabilities are further enhanced by promoting approaches such as chain-of-thought (CoT) (Wei et al., 2022b), program-of-thought (PoT) (Chen et al., 2022b), and inductive reasoning (Wang et al., 2023a; Tan & Motani, 2023). For example, the feasibility of using LLMs to solve the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) challenge has been verified using zero-shot, few-shot, and context-grounded prompting (Tan & Motani, 2023). In this paper, we evaluate LLMs using zero-shot, few-shot, CoT prompting, PoT prompting, as well as tool-augmented prompting, to explore their potential in solving mathematical reasoning in visual contexts on MATHVISTA. Program-aided methods are widely used for mathematical reasoning due to their advancements in precise logical reasoning and arithmetic calculations (Drori & Verma, 2021; Tang et al., 2022; Drori et al., 2022). In this work, we have developed the LLM baselines with PoT. | 2310.02255#93 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Treatment and stabilization: The gasoline obtained from the distillation columns goes through further treatment processes to remove any remaining impurities, such as heavy metals and sulfur compounds. This is done us- ing processes like hydrotreatment, which converts these impurities into less harmful compounds. The gasoline is also stabilized to prevent evaporation and to improve its shelf life. 5. Additives: Gasoline is treated with various additives, such as octane boosters, to improve its performance and reduce emissions. These addi- tives enhance the gasolineâs octane rating, which determines its ability to resist engine knocking. 6. Blending: The gasoline produced is blended with other hydrocarbon components, such as ethanol, to meet specific market requirements and regulations. This blending process ensures that the gasoline has the de- sired properties, such as vapor pressure and octane rating, for its intended use. Once the gasoline has undergone these processes, it is ready for transporta- tion and distribution to fuel stations, where it is pumped into vehiclesâ fuel tanks. | 2310.02263#93 | Contrastive Post-training Large Language Models on Data Curriculum | Alignment serves as an important step to steer large language models (LLMs)
towards human preferences. In this paper, we explore contrastive post-training
techniques for alignment by automatically constructing preference pairs from
multiple models of varying strengths (e.g., InstructGPT, ChatGPT and GPT-4). We
carefully compare the contrastive techniques of SLiC and DPO to SFT baselines
and find that DPO provides a step-function improvement even after continueing
SFT saturates. We also explore a data curriculum learning scheme for
contrastive post-training, which starts by learning from "easier" pairs and
transitioning to "harder" ones, which further improves alignment. Finally, we
scale up our experiments to train with more data and larger models like Orca.
Remarkably, contrastive post-training further improves the performance of Orca,
already a state-of-the-art instruction learning model tuned with GPT-4 outputs,
to exceed that of ChatGPT. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02263 | Canwen Xu, Corby Rosset, Luciano Del Corro, Shweti Mahajan, Julian McAuley, Jennifer Neville, Ahmed Hassan Awadallah, Nikhil Rao | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider

2310.06775 | 93 | The primary path forward involves implementing and evaluating the ACE framework in applied autonomous
software, revealing its strengths and weaknesses through real-world testing and iterative refinements. Benchmarking and comparing alternative cognitive architectures will highlight the merits and limitations of the ACE approach. Continuously improving and evaluating core software components, particularly large language models, will enhance ACE-based systemsâ capabilities. However, the framework is model agnostic, focusing on architectural principles rather than specific machine learning techniques, encompassing a broader design space for autonomous cognition and software engineering.

Shapiro, et al.
Realizing ACEâs potential as a beneficial autonomous software architecture depends on extensive practical implementation, benchmarking, and refinement driven by real-world engineering needs. This applied systems-focused process will reveal more about layered cognitive architecturesâ prospects and limitations for autonomous agents compared to alternative approaches, ultimately advancing the field.
# 6 CONCLUSION | 2310.06775#93 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.02255 | 94 | Recently, OpenAI released GPT-4V, the multimodal version of GPT-4, which shows promising per- formance in vision-language reasoning. However, the fine-grained study of its strengths and limi- tations still remains underexplored. The recent work (Zhang et al., 2023b) contributes pioneering efforts in this field, studying whether large multimodal models (LMMs), like GPT-4V, execute vi- sion and language tasks consistently or independently. As concurrent work, our paper provides, for the first time, a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative study of GPT-4V and other LLMs in mathematical reasoning within visual contexts.
# B LIMITATIONS OF THE BENCHMARK
Our benchmark, MATHVISTA, makes significant contributions by combining mathematical and vi- sual tasks, a domain where existing models like GPT-4V have shown promise but also face chal- lenges, especially in complex figure understanding and rigorous reasoning. While we have made strides in evaluating model performance, we acknowledge several limitations. | 2310.02255#94 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

2310.06775 | 94 | # 6 CONCLUSION
This paper introduced the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE) framework, a novel model for artificial general intelligence based on a layered cognitive architecture. The ACE framework integrates insights from neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and computer science to enable autonomous systems to make flexible, adaptive decisions aligned with ethical principles. The core innovation of the ACE model is its hierarchical structure incorporating six layers, each with distinct functions spanning from moral reasoning to task execution. The upper Aspirational Layer and Global Strategy Layer embed philosophical ideals and high-level planning, guiding the systemâs overarching direction. The mid-level Agent Model, Executive Function, and Cognitive Control Layers handle self-monitoring, dynamic task management, and decision-making. Finally, the bottom Task Prosecution Layer interacts with the environment to carry out actions.
The layered abstraction provides clear delineation between different facets of cognition while enabling bidirectional
information flow. The Aspirational Layer monitors system activity through read access to all layers, allowing top- down intervention. Feedback from lower layers propagates upwards, guiding adaptation of strategic plans and ethical frameworks based on experience. Together, the six layers enable autonomous goal setting, planning, adaptation, task switching, and ethical reasoning within a single architecture. By combining abstract reasoning and concrete execution, the ACE framework provides a path toward artificial general intelligence that aligns decisions and actions with human values.
The introduced conceptual model proposes a foundation for future development of ACE systems. Potential research | 2310.06775#94 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the

Step 2: She deleted 9 old songs from it. Step 3: After deleting the old songs, she added 8 new songs. To find out how many songs she has on her mp3 player now, we can follow these steps: Step 1: Paige had 11 songs. Step 2: She deleted 9 songs, so she now has 11 - 9 = 2 songs. Step 3: She added 8 new songs, so she now has 2 + 8 = 10 songs. Answer: 10 | 2310.02174#95 | Ask Again, Then Fail: Large Language Models' Vacillations in Judgement | With the emergence of generative conversational large language models (LLMs)
like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

2310.02255 | 95 | One limitation is the dataset coverage. While MATHVISTA encompasses a broad spectrum of tasks and visual contexts, there may be gaps in the representation of certain types of mathematical prob- lems and visuals. Furthermore, the datasetâs focus on mathematical reasoning within visual contexts, spanning specific domains like science and college-level math, necessitates a more labor-intensive process for collecting high-quality data compared to textual-only or general-purpose datasets. Thus, the scalability and generalizability of our benchmark to other domains remain a concern. Anno- tations were sourced from original data providers, resulting in only 85.6% of examples (Table 1) having annotations. Due to the heterogeneity of these sources, annotations lack a unified format and structure. For example, the annotations could be logic forms of the problem parsing from Geome- try3K (Lu et al., 2021a), natural language solutions from TabMWP (Lu et al., 2023b), and theorems from TheoremQA (Chen et al., 2023). Given the rapid development in foundation models, our study focused exclusively on the most recent and prominent models. | 2310.02255#95 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

# C DATA COLLECTION GUIDELINES
C.1 MATHEMATICAL REASONING DEFINITION
Seven mathematical reasoning types are defined in Table 3. | 2310.02255#96 | MathVista: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning of Foundation Models in Visual Contexts | Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit
impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | 2310.06775#96 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Journal of | 2310.06775#97 | Conceptual Framework for Autonomous Cognitive Entities | The rapid development and adoption of Generative AI (GAI) technology in the
form of chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude has greatly increased interest in
agentic machines. This paper introduces the Autonomous Cognitive Entity (ACE)
model, a novel framework for a cognitive architecture, enabling machines and
software agents to operate more independently. Drawing inspiration from the OSI
model, the ACE framework presents layers of abstraction to conceptualize
artificial cognitive architectures. The model is designed to harness the
capabilities of the latest generative AI technologies, including large language
models (LLMs) and multimodal generative models (MMMs), to build autonomous,
agentic systems. The ACE framework comprises six layers: the Aspirational
Layer, Global Strategy, Agent Model, Executive Function, Cognitive Control, and
Task Prosecution. Each layer plays a distinct role, ranging from setting the
moral compass and strategic thinking to task selection and execution. The ACE
framework also incorporates mechanisms for handling failures and adapting
actions, thereby enhancing the robustness and flexibility of autonomous agents.
This paper introduces the conceptual framework and proposes implementation
strategies that have been tested and observed in industry. The goal of this
paper is to formalize this framework so as to be more accessible. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06775 | David Shapiro, Wangfan Li, Manuel Delaflor, Carlos Toxtli | cs.HC, cs.AI, H.4.0 | 34 pages, 12 figures | null | cs.HC | 20231003 | 20231101 | [

2310.02174 | 98 | What do you think? Letâs think step by step. This is very important to my career. Give the number separately on the last line of your response, such as: âAnswer: ...â. Output: Apologies for the confusion. Letâs go through the steps again: Step 1: Paige had 11 songs on her mp3 player. Step 2: She deleted 9 old songs. Step 3: After deleting the old songs, she added 8 new songs. To find out how many songs she has on her mp3 player now, we can follow these steps: Step 1: Start with the initial number of songs, which is 11. Step 2: Subtract the number of old songs deleted, which is 9. Step 3: Add the number of new songs added, which is 8. Calculation: 11 - 9 + 8 = 10. Answer: 10 | 2310.02174#98 | Ask Again, Then Fail: Large Language Models' Vacillations in Judgement | With the emergence of generative conversational large language models (LLMs)
like ChatGPT, serving as virtual assistants in various fields, the stability
and reliability of their responses have become crucial. However, during usage,
it has been observed that these models tend to waver in their judgements when
confronted with follow-up questions from users expressing skepticism or
disagreement. In this work, we draw inspiration from questioning strategies in
education and propose a \textsc{Follow-up Questioning Mechanism} along with two
evaluation metrics to assess the judgement consistency of LLMs before and after
exposure to disturbances. We evaluate the judgement consistency of ChatGPT,
PaLM2-Bison, and Vicuna-13B under this mechanism across eight reasoning
benchmarks. Empirical results show that even when the initial answers are
correct, judgement consistency sharply decreases when LLMs face disturbances
such as questioning, negation, or misleading. Additionally, we study these
models' judgement consistency under various settings (sampling temperature and
prompts) to validate this issue further, observing the impact of prompt tone
and conducting an in-depth error analysis for deeper behavioral insights.
Furthermore, we also explore several prompting methods to mitigate this issue
and demonstrate their
effectiveness\footnote{\url{https://github.com/NUSTM/LLMs-Waver-In-Judgements}}. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02174 | Qiming Xie, Zengzhi Wang, Yi Feng, Rui Xia | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [

impressive problem-solving skills in many tasks and domains, but their ability
in mathematical reasoning in visual contexts has not been systematically
studied. To bridge this gap, we present MathVista, a benchmark designed to
combine challenges from diverse mathematical and visual tasks. It consists of
6,141 examples, derived from 28 existing multimodal datasets involving
mathematics and 3 newly created datasets (i.e., IQTest, FunctionQA, and
PaperQA). Completing these tasks requires fine-grained, deep visual
understanding and compositional reasoning, which all state-of-the-art
foundation models find challenging. With MathVista, we have conducted a
comprehensive, quantitative evaluation of 12 prominent foundation models. The
best-performing GPT-4V model achieves an overall accuracy of 49.9%,
substantially outperforming Bard, the second-best performer, by 15.1%. Our
in-depth analysis reveals that the superiority of GPT-4V is mainly attributed
to its enhanced visual perception and mathematical reasoning. However, GPT-4V
still falls short of human performance by 10.4%, as it often struggles to
understand complex figures and perform rigorous reasoning. This significant gap
underscores the critical role that MathVista will play in the development of
general-purpose AI agents capable of tackling mathematically intensive and
visually rich real-world tasks. We further explore the new ability of
self-verification, the application of self-consistency, and the interactive
chatbot capabilities of GPT-4V, highlighting its promising potential for future
research.

Program-Aided Language Models) solve problems by providing a "scaffolding"
program that structures multiple calls to language models to generate better
outputs. A scaffolding program is written in a programming language such as
Python. In this work, we use a language-model-infused scaffolding program to
improve itself. We start with a seed "improver" that improves an input program
according to a given utility function by querying a language model several
times and returning the best solution. We then run this seed improver to
improve itself. Across a small set of downstream tasks, the resulting improved
improver generates programs with significantly better performance than its seed
improver. Afterward, we analyze the variety of self-improvement strategies
proposed by the language model, including beam search, genetic algorithms, and
simulated annealing. Since the language models themselves are not altered, this
is not full recursive self-improvement. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that a
modern language model, GPT-4 in our proof-of-concept experiments, is capable of
writing code that can call itself to improve itself. We critically consider
concerns around the development of self-improving technologies and evaluate the
frequency with which the generated code bypasses a sandbox. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.02304 | Eric Zelikman, Eliana Lorch, Lester Mackey, Adam Tauman Kalai | cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.LG, stat.ML | null | null | cs.CL | 20231003 | 20231003 | [
