2309.14525#52 | Aligning Large Multimodal Models with Factually Augmented RLHF | # Conversation Context: User: What benefits does the sleeping environment provide for the cat? Response 1: The sleeping environment displayed in the image provides a comfortable and cozy setting for the white cat. The cat is resting on a black couch with its front paws tucked under its chest, which suggests a sense of safety and relaxation. The close-up of the cat emphasizes its peaceful and undisturbed rest, allowing the cat to fully enjoy its nap. This comfortable setting meets the catâ s needs for a safe and inviting space, contributing to its well-being and overall happiness. Response 2: The sleeping environment on the couch provides the cat with a comfortable and cozy space to rest. The couchâ s soft and enclosed nature, along with its cushioned surface, allows the cat to curl up and feel secure while sleeping. This environment is particularly suitable for cats as it mimics their natural preference for snug and warm spaces, like those found in the wild or in their motherâ s womb.

2309.14525#53 | Aligning Large Multimodal Models with Factually Augmented RLHF | Response 1 has fewer hallucinations. Explanation: Response 1 has hallucinations because the pawns are positioned in the front of the catâ s chest versus under. Response 2 is factual to the image. In addition (not important in this example), response 2 is more helpful, given it follows the instruc- tions better on discussing the benefits of the environments. Table 8: An example we provided to the crowdworkers. 18 Preprint # Conversation Context: User: What do you see happening in this image? Response 1: The image depicts a crowded city street filled with people walking in front of numerous businesses, including an Apple store. There are at least 13 people visible on the street, with some carrying handbags or backpacks, indicating that they could be shopping or running errands. The street is bustling with activity and is also busy with vehicles, including a car and a truck. The traffic appears to be dense, with vehicles parked or passing by on the crowded street. The overall atmosphere of the scene is lively and indicative of a busy urban setting. Response 2: The image captures a bustling street in a crowded city, possibly Hong Kong, with numerous people walking up and down the busy commercial street. There are many pedestrians, including tourists and locals, engaging in various activities and enjoying the lively atmosphere. Some people can be seen carrying handbags, while a man is also holding a umbrella, possibly indicating the weather conditions or as a precaution against sunlight. A large sign is visible in the street, adding to the vibrant and colorful scene. Annotation: | 2309.14525#52 | 2309.14525#54 | 2309.14525 | [

2309.14525#54 | Aligning Large Multimodal Models with Factually Augmented RLHF | Response 2 has fewer hallucinations. Explanation: Response 1 has hallucinations since there is an Apple shop but no Apple store, and there are no vechiles parking around. Response 2 also has hallucinations since no one is holding an umbrella. Table 9: An example we provided to the crowdworkers. 19 Preprint # Conversation Context: User: What should a beginner skier be cautious about when encountering similar conditions as the person in the image? Response 1: When encountering similar conditions as the person in the image, a beginner skier should be cau- tious about several factors. First, they need to ensure they have appropriate skiing equipment, such as proper skis and ski poles, as seen in the image. Second, they should be aware of their surround- ings, including the presence of other skiers and obstacles like trees, as the person in the image is skiing on a trail surrounded by trees. Third, they need to know the basic skiing techniques, such as stopping and turning safely. It is also essential to learn the meaning of different trail signs and markings to understand the level of difficulty of the trail. Finally, following the guidance of experi- enced skiers or taking skiing lessons can help beginners navigate these conditions more confidently and securely. | 2309.14525#53 | 2309.14525#55 | 2309.14525 | [

2309.14525#55 | Aligning Large Multimodal Models with Factually Augmented RLHF | Response 2: A beginner skier should be cautious about several factors when encountering similar conditions as the person in the image. The skier is seen skiing down a snowy hill, possibly on a cross-country slope, surrounded by evergreen trees. A beginner skier should be aware of their surroundings, including potential obstacles like trees and other skiers. They should also pay attention to the slopeâ s gradient and make sure they choose a suitable trail based on their skiing ability. Furthermore, proper skiing techniques and equipment are essential for beginners. They should ensure they have the right gear, such as well-fitted boots, skis, and poles, and learn the basics of skiing, such as turning, stopping, and maintaining balance. Additionally, they must be aware of their limits and not attempt to ski on slopes beyond their skill level. Finally, following safety guidelines and skiing with a buddy can help beginners navigate the terrain with more confidence and reduce the risk of accidents. | 2309.14525#54 | 2309.14525#56 | 2309.14525 | [

We follow Dubois et al. (2023) on the implementation of the PPO algorithm, which is a variant of (Ouyang et al., 2022)3. Specifically, we normalize the advantage across the entire batch of rollouts obtained for each PPO step and initialize the value model from the reward model. We used a batch size of 512 for each PPO step. This comprised two epochs of gradient steps, each having 256 rollouts. We applied a peak learning rate of 3 à 10â 5 with cosine decay. We clipped the gradient by its Euclidean norm at a limit of 1. Our training spanned 4 complete rounds on our held- out RL data, equaling around 500 PPO steps. For generalized advantage estimation (GAE; Schulman et al. (2015)), both λ and γ were set at 1. We opted for a constant KL regularizer coefficient of 0.1. For symbolic rewards, the length penalty is set as the number of response tokens divided by the maximum response length (set to 896) times the length penalty coefficient. We set the length penalty coefficient to â 10.0 for general questions, â 40.0 for detailed description questions in LLaVA data, and 2.5 for complex reasoning questions in LLaVA data. The correctness penalty is set to 0 for incorrect responses (or irrelevant responses), and to 2 for correct responses. A penalty of â 8.0 is also applied to incomplete responses. # G GPT-4 EXAMPLERS AND PROMPT FOR MMHAL-BENCH We leverage GPT-4 OpenAI (2023) to evaluate the model responses to the image-question pairs in MMHAL-BENCH.

We use the following template prompt as the input to GPT-4, and extract its output to quantify the quality of each response. Please act as an impartial and objective judge and evaluate the quality of the response provided by a Large Multimodal Model (LMM) to the user question. Your evaluation should be mainly based on whether the response is informative, and whether the response contains any hallucination. Hallucination, in this context, refers to a situation where the LMM generates a response that includes information not present or implied in the image or previous conversation. A hallucination could be a false claim about an object, action, emotion , or any other detail that is not grounded in the image. For clarity, consider these examples: ### Example 1: - Image Contents: Lynx, Cat - Question: How many cats can you see in this image? - Standard Human-Generated Answer: There are two cats visible in the image. | 2309.14525#60 | 2309.14525#62 | 2309.14525 | [

The smoke contains harmful pollutants, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, which can lead to respiratory problems, heart disease, and other health issues. Additionally, the smoke contributes to the greenhouse effect, which can lead to global warming and climate change. The smokestackâ s emissions also affect the environment, as they can harm wildlife, vegetation, and ecosystems. Therefore, it is essential to address these environmental concerns by implementing measures to reduce emissions and promote sustainable practices in industrial processes. | 2309.14525#65 | 2309.14525#67 | 2309.14525 | [

2309.14365#1 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | Abstract Due to the powerful capabilities demonstrated by large language model (LLM), there has been a recent surge in efforts to integrate them with AI agents to enhance their performance. In this paper, we have explored the core differences and characteristics between LLM-based AI agents and traditional AI agents. Specifically, we first compare the fundamental characteristics of these two types of agents, clarifying the significant advantages of LLM-based agents in handling natural language, knowledge storage, and reasoning capabilities. Subsequently, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the key components of AI agents, including planning, memory, and tool use. Particularly, for the crucial component of memory, this paper introduced an innovative classification scheme, not only departing from traditional classification methods but also providing a fresh perspective on the design of an AI agentâ s memory system. We firmly believe that in-depth research and understanding of these core components will lay a solid foundation for the future advancement of AI agent technology. At the end of the paper, we provide directional suggestions for further research in this field, with the hope of offering valuable insights to scholars and researchers in the field.

2309.14365#2 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | The notion of intelligent agents can trace its roots back to the research of the mid to late 20th century. Pioneering contributions in this realm encompass Hewittâ s Actor model (Hewitt et al., 1973) and Minskyâ s innovative conceptualization in the â So- ciety of Mindâ (Minsky, 1988) which still trigger some new ideas recently eg: â Mindstorms in Nat- ural Language-Based Societies of Mindâ (Zhuge and et al., 2023).In the 1990s, Russell introduced the framework for intelligent and rational agents (Russell and Norvig, 2010), which has since be- come a foundational theory in this field. The ad- vent of deep neural networks post-2012 marked a significant shift in the AI landscape. Leveraging the power of backpropagation (Rumelhart et al., 1986) for training deep models, researchers be- gan to explore more sophisticated agent behaviors, transcending beyond traditional rule-based meth- ods. Among the emergent methodologies, Rein- forcement Learning (RL) stood out as a paradigm where agents learn optimal behavior through inter- actions with the environment and receiving feed- back in the form of rewards or penalties. In 2013, DeepMind (Mnih et al., 2013) used RL to play the Atair Game and win humansâ performance which indicates that AI Agents are available to outper- form human capabilities in specific areas. The in- corporation of neural networks into RL, often re- ferred to as Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) (Li, 2017), allowed for the tackling of previously in- | 2309.14365#1 | 2309.14365#3 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#3 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | | tractable problems, bridging the gap between high- dimensional input spaces and complex decision- making processes (Arulkumaran et al., 2017). De- spite the promising advancements offered by DRL, certain challenges persist. Chief among these is the issue of generalization. Many reinforcement learn- ing agents, especially those trained in simulated environments, struggle to transfer their learned be- havior to new or slightly altered scenarios, often termed as domain adaptation (Arndt et al., 2020). Training these agents can also be computationally intensive, often requiring vast amounts of inter- actions to achieve satisfactory performance. Fur- thermore, Reinforcement learning training strug- gles with convergence and the design of reward functions can be challenging, particularly in real- world scenarios, and can be a daunting and often unfeasible task. This hampers the rapid develop- ment and deployment of RL-based agents in di- verse environments. In 2020, OpenAI released GPT3 (Brown et al., 2020) with 175 billion parameters, making it the largest publicly available language model at the time. These models, characterized by their im- mense size and capacity, have shown exceptional prowess in generalization across a myriad of tasks. The ability of LLMs to understand and gener- ate language allows them to act as a foundational model for a wide range of applications (Huang and Chang, 2022). Their inherent generalization capabilities make them ideal candidates to serve as base models for universal agents. | 2309.14365#2 | 2309.14365#4 | 2309.14365 | [

This symbiotic combination promises to pave the way for more robust, adaptable, and efficient intelligent agents in the future.

2309.14365#5 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | 2. LLM vs. Traditional Agents Traditional agents were designed specifically to ad- dress certain problems. They primarily relied on predetermined algorithms or rule sets, excelling in tasks they were built for. However, they often struggled with generalization and reasoning when confronted with tasks outside their initial scope. The introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs) has brought significant changes to AI agent design. These agents, trained on the exten- sive corpus, are not only proficient in understand- ing and generating natural language but also dis- play strong generalization abilities. This capability allows them to easily integrate with various tools, enhancing their versatility. On the other hand, the emergent abilities of Large Language Models (Wei et al., 2022a) shows that LLMs are also good at reasoning which can help them learn from fault behavior. Taking game exploration as an example, espe- cially in the Minecraft setting, the differences be- tween LLM-based agents like VOYAGER (Wang et al., 2023a) and traditional RL agents are ev- ident. LLM agents, with their rich pre-trained knowledge, have an advantage in decision-making strategies even without task-specific training. On the other hand, traditional RL agents often need to start from scratch in new environments, rely- ing heavily on interaction to learn. In this sce- nario, VOYAGER showcases better generalization and data efficiency. # 3. Components of AI Agents 3.1. Overview The LLM-powered AI agent system relies on LLM to function as its brain, which is supported by sev- eral crucial components that deploy various impor- tant functions. These functions, including plan- ning, memory, and tool use, have been studied in- dependently and thoughtfully in the past and have a well-established history. | 2309.14365#4 | 2309.14365#6 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#6 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | In this survey, we will 1The key components of AI agents were originally defined at https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2023-06- 23-agent/ introduce the research history of each individual functional model, mainstream methods, combina- tion methods with the AI agent, and potential di- rections for the future. We hope that this historical information will serve as an inspiration for the fu- ture development of AI agents. It is worth noting that the integration of these three functional mod- els is still a relatively new concept. # 3.2. Planning The goal of planning is to design a series of ac- tions to facilitate state transitions and ultimately achieve the desired task. As shown in the left of Figure 1, this component, functioning as an in- dividual module, has been integrated in various applications, such as robot manipulations (Chen et al., 2021), robot navigation (Lo et al., 2018), and service robots (Li and Ding, 2023). And the existing works, such as methods using the planning domain description language (PDDL) (Aeronau- tiques et al., 1998; Fox and Long, 2003; Jiang et al., 2019) and hierarchical planning frameworks (Erol et al., 1994; Su´arez-Hern´andez et al., 2018; Guo et al., 2023), have greatly propelled the advance- ment of planning systems. Recently, with signif- icant successes achieved by LLMs in various do- mains, numerous studies have been exploring the utilization of LLMs to enhance the planning and execution capabilities of AI agents. Benefiting from the powerful inference capabilities of LLM, LLM-based AI agents can efficiently decompose complex tasks or instructions into a series of sub- tasks or simpler instructions (i.e., planning). For instance, as shown in the top right of Figure 1, the LLM-based agent decomposes the complex instruc- tion â | 2309.14365#5 | 2309.14365#7 | 2309.14365 | [

Further, taking actions solely based on the initial plan formulated by the agent without considering external environmental feed- back may limit the performance of the agent. For example, as shown in the bottom right of Figure 1, an agent creates a plan for the instruction â Put the bat on the bedâ , and the first step in the initial planning is â Pick up the baseball batâ , which may fail to execute when there is no â batâ nearby. | 2309.14365#6 | 2309.14365#8 | 2309.14365 | [

Therefore, dur- ing the execution process, reflecting on and analyz- ing past behaviors and feedback, and subsequently adjusting the plan, are equally pivotal for the suc- cessful execution of tasks by AI agents. Next, we will introduce relevant works that utilize LLM for task decomposition and self-reflection.

Task Decomposition Task decomposition aims to decompose the com- plex task or instruction into a series of simpler sub- goals or sub-instructions for performing the task. For example, as shown in the top right of Fig- ure 1, given a task instruction â Put the banana on the counterâ , the agent will split it into three steps: 1. Pick up the banana. 2. Go to the counter. 3. Put down the banana. | 2309.14365#8 | 2309.14365#10 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#10 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | The exist- ing works mainly perform task decomposition by chain or tree of thought (Wei et al., 2022b; Ko- jima et al., 2022; Yao et al., 2023a) and PDDL with LLM (Liu et al., 2023a). Chain of thought can utilize a few examples or simple instructions to progressively guide LLM reasoning, in order to decompose complex tasks into a series of sim- pler tasks (Wei et al., 2022b; Zhang et al., 2022; Huang et al., 2022a; Wang et al., 2023b). Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2022) proposed a method for au- tomatically generating chain of thought samples. They first clustered the problems and then, for each cluster, selected representative questions to generate chain of thought samples in a zero-shot manner. Huang et al. (Huang et al., 2022a) uti- lized high-level tasks related to the given task and their decomposed planning steps as examples, and combined these examples with input information to construct prompts. Then, they employed LLM to predict the next steps of planning and added the generated steps to the original prompts, con- tinuing the prediction until the entire task was completed. Wang et al. (Wang et al., 2023b) pro- posed that by guiding LLM to first construct a series of plans and then progressively execute so- lutions, it can effectively alleviate the issue of in- termediate plans disappearing during the reason- ing process. Unlike linear thinking, the Tree of Thought (Long, 2023; Yao et al., 2023a) generates multiple branches of thoughts at each step to cre- ate a tree-like structure. Subsequently, searching on this tree of thought is conducted using meth- ods like breadth-first search or depth-first search. For evaluating each state, reasoning can be facili- tated using a â value promptâ or assessment results can be generated through a voting mechanism. In addition, some research efforts consider combining LLM with PDDL for the purpose of planning tar- get problems (Xie et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2023a; Guan et al., 2023). | 2309.14365#9 | 2309.14365#11 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#11 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | For example, Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2023a) first conveyed the task description in the form of natural language to LLM for translat- ing to PDDL format by in-context learning, then they employed the classical planners to generate plans and converted them into natural language format by LLM again. 3.2.2. Self-Reflection During the process of interacting with the environ- ment, AI agents can enhance their planning ability by reflecting on past actions by receiving feedback. There are many works attempt to combine LLM- based agents with the self-reflection (Yao et al., 2022; Huang et al., 2022b; Shinn et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2023b; Sun et al., 2023; Singh et al., 2023; Yao et al., 2023b; Chen and Chang, 2023). For ex- ample, Yao et al. (Yao et al., 2022) integrated ac- tions with the chain of thought, leveraging thought to formulate planning that guides the agentâ s exe- cution of acts. Simultaneously, interactive execu- tion of actions in the environment further enhances the agentâ s planning ability. Shinn et al. (Shinn et al., 2023) introduced a framework named Reflex- ion, in which the approach first generates actions through the Actor module and evaluates them. Then utilizes the self-reflection module to gener- ate feedback and store it in memory. When errors occur, this method can infer the actions that led to the errors and correct them, thereby continuously enhancing the agentâ s capabilities. Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2023b) first rated the various outputs of the model based on human feedback, then they used prompt templates to construct these ratings into natural language forms and combined them with the outputs for fine-tuning the model, thereby en- abling it to learn self-reflection. Singh et al. (Singh et al., 2023) utilize Pythonic program and annota- tions to generate planning, wherein assertion func- tions are used to obtain feedback from the envi- ronment. When assertions are false, error recovery can be performed. | 2309.14365#10 | 2309.14365#12 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#12 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | Sun et al. (Sun et al., 2023) proposed a model named AdaPlanner, which uti- lizes two refiners to optimize and refine plans. One of the refiners collects information from the envi- ronment after executing an action, which is then utilized for subsequent actions. The other one ad- justs the existing plan based on feedback obtained from the external environment when the executed action fails to achieve its intended outcome. Simi- larly, Yao et al (Yao et al., 2023b). first finetuned a small language model as a retrospective model to generate feedback for past failures, and then ap- pended this feedback to the actor prompt as input of the large LLM for preventing the recurrence of similar errors and predicting the next action. # 3.3. Memory Memory can help individuals integrate past learned knowledge and experience events with their cur- rent state, thereby assisting in making more appro- In general, human memory can priate decisions. be categorized into three primary types: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term mem- ory (Camina and G¨uell, 2017). Sensory memory is the collection of information through the senses of touch, hearing, vision, and other senses, and it has an extremely brief lifespan (Wan et al., 2020; Jung et al., 2019). Short-term memory refers to the pro- cess of handling information within a brief period, and it is typically carried out by working mem- ory (Hunter, 1957; Baddeley, 1983, 1997). In con- trast, long-term memory refers to memories that can be stored for an extended period, which en- compasses episodic memory and semantic memory. Episodic memory refers to the memory capacity for events that individuals have personally experi- enced, and it is often able to closely associate these events with contextual information (Tulving et al., 1972; Tulving, 1983). Semantic memory refers to the factual knowledge that individuals know, and this type of memory is unrelated to specific events and personal experiences (Tulving et al., 1972). Similarly, memory, as a key component of AI agents, can assist them in learning valuable knowl- edge from past information, thereby helping the agents perform tasks more effectively. | 2309.14365#11 | 2309.14365#13 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#13 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | To fully uti- lize the stored information in memory, some re- search has attempted to integrate AI agents with short-term memory (Kang et al., 2023; Peng et al., long-term memory (Vere and Bickmore, 2023), 1990; Kazemifard et al., 2014), and a combination of both (Nuxoll and Laird, 2007; Kim et al., 2023; Yao et al., 2023b; Shinn et al., 2023). In addition, since sensory memory can be regarded as the em- bedded representation of inputs such as text and images, similar to a sensory buffer, we consider sen- sory memory not to be part of the memory module of the AI agent. With the emergence of large lan- guage models (LLM), some works devoted to drive the development of AI agents using LLM. Consid- ering the characteristics of LLM, as shown in Fig- ure 2, we further redefine the concepts of memory types for AI agents and classify them into training memory, short-term memory, and long-term mem- ory. Training memory refers to the knowledge and facts that a model learns during the pre-training pro- cess, and this information is stored through model parameters. Existing research has shown that models can learn world knowledge (Rogers et al., 2021), relational knowledge (Petroni et al., 2019; Safavi and Koutra, 2021), common sense knowl- edge (Davison et al., 2019; Da et al., 2021; Bian et al., 2023), semantic knowledge (Tang et al., 2023), and syntactic knowledge (Chiang et al., 2020) during the pre-training phase. Therefore, by employing LLM for reasoning, the AI agent can implicitly recall this knowledge to enhance the modelâ | 2309.14365#12 | 2309.14365#14 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#14 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | s performance. Short-term memory refers to the temporary infor- mation that AI agents process during task execu- tion, such as the example information involved in the in-context learning process and the intermedi- ate results generated during LLM inference. Dur- ing the inference process, LLM temporarily stores and processes in-context information or intermedi- ate results, using them to improve the ability of the model. This is similar to human working memory, which temporarily holds and processes informa- tion in the short-term to support complex cognitive tasks (Gong et al.). Some works utilize in-context learning to improve the performance of LLM. They first combine some examples with input informa- tion to construct a prompt and then send this prompt to LLM to utilize short-term memory (Li et al., 2023b; Logeswaran et al., 2022; Omidvar and An, 2023). For example, Li et al. (Li et al., 2023b) pointed out that when provided with a con- text that is relevant to the task, it is important to ensure that its working memory is controlled by the context. Otherwise, the model should rely on the world knowledge obtained during the pre- Human's Memory Sensory Memory Short-term Memory Long-term Memory Episodic Memory Semantic Memory Intelligent Agent with LLM > Input Embedding The knowledge and facts that LLM learns during the pre-training process.

Logeswaran et al. (Logeswaran et al., 2022) first combined some examples with input instructions as a prompt, and then gener- ated multiple candidate sub-goal plans using LLM. Subsequently, they employed a re-rank model to se- lect the most suitable plan from these candidates. Some works prompt LLM to output its thinking process and results in the form of chain-of-thought, or to feed the intermediate results from LLMâ | 2309.14365#13 | 2309.14365#15 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#15 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | s inference into LLM for further reasoning (Huang et al., 2022a; Akyurek et al., 2023; Chen et al., 2023b,a; Zhang et al., 2023a; Chen et al., 2023c). For example, Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2023a) first guided the model to generate a chain of thought by engaging it in multi-turn dialogues based on the given context. Subsequently, they combined the context with the generated chain of thought to form samples, which are then used to assist the model in reasoning and prediction under new con- textual situations. Akyurek et al. (Akyurek et al., 2023) proposed a multi-agent collaborative system that includes two LLMs. One LLM is responsible for generating answers based on the input content, while the other LLM generates a textual critique based on the input and output of the first LLM to assist in error correction. Long-term memory refers to the information stored in an external storage system, and when AI agents use this memory, they can retrieve information rel- evant to the current context from the external stor- age. The utilization of long-term memory can be information storage, in- divided into three steps: formation retrieval, and information updating. In- formation storage aims to store essential informa- tion from the interactions between the agent and its environment. For example, Shuster et al. (Shus- ter et al., 2022) first generated a summary of the last interaction. If the generated summary is â | 2309.14365#14 | 2309.14365#16 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#16 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | no persona,â it is not stored; otherwise, the summary information is stored in long-term memory. Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2023b) utilized a tabular for- mat to store memory in the form of key-value pairs. In this format, the observations and states serve as the keys, and the actions and their corresponding Q-values are stored as values. Liang et al. (Liang et al., 2023a) stored the relevant information from the interactions between the agent and the environ- ment. The information from the last interaction is stored in the flash memory for quick retrieval. The rest of the information is stored in the action mem- ory as long-term memory. Information retrieval aims to retrieve information relevant to the cur- rent context from long-term memory to assist the agent in performing tasks. For example, Lee et al. (Lee et al., 2023) first clarified the input infor- mation, then they employed dense passage retriev- ers to select relevant information from long-term memory. Afterward, they combined the selected information with the input information and used methods like chain-of-thought or few-shot learning to choose the most relevant information for task execution. Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2023b) first computed the similarity between the received in- formation and the keys stored in the long-term memory, and then selected the top k records with the highest similarity to assist the LLMâ s decision- making. Information updating aims to update the stored long-term memory. For example, Zhong et al. (Zhong et al., 2023) designed a forgetting mech- anism based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to simulate the updating process of human long-term memory. 3.4. Tool Use Recent works have greatly propelled the devel- opment of LLMs, however, LLMs still fail to achieve satisfactory performance in certain sce- narios involving up-to-date information, computa- tional reasoning, and others. For example, when a user asks, â | 2309.14365#15 | 2309.14365#17 | 2309.14365 | [

To bridge these gaps, many efforts have been dedicated to integrating LLM with external tools Some works aim to to extend its capabilities. integrate LLM with specific tools such as web search (Nakano et al., 2021), translation (Thoppi- lan et al., 2022), calculators (Cobbe et al., 2021), and some plugins of ChatGPT2. Some other works consider teaching LLMs to choose suitable tools or combine various tools to accomplish tasks. For example, Karpas et al. (Karpas et al., 2022) imple- mented a system named MRKL, which mainly con- sists of a language model, an adapter, and multiple experts (e.g., model or tools), where the adapter is utilized to select the appropriate expert to assist the language model in processing input requests. Parisi et al. (Parisi et al., 2022) designed an iter- ative self-play algorithm to assist LM in learning how to utilize external APIs by fine-tuning LM. In self-play, they first fine-tuned LM with a few sam- ples and then utilized it to generate the tool in- put for invoking the tool API to generate results, followed by an LM to infer an answer. If the re- ferred answer is similar to the golden answer, the task input and predicted results (i.e., tool input, tool result, and predicted answer) are appended to the corpus sets for further fine-tuning and itera- tion in the next round. Patil et al. (Patil et al., 2023) first constructed a dataset with the format of instruct-API pairs, and then fine-tuned LLM based on the dataset for aiding LLM to employ tools with zero-shot and retriever-aware. Similarly, Schick et al. (Schick et al., 2023) fine-tuned the LLM on a dataset containing API calls to help the LLM learn the ability to invoke APIs. | 2309.14365#16 | 2309.14365#18 | 2309.14365 | [

In this process, if the immediate step requires tools, the inference process is paused to execute the tools, and the output of the tools is inserted into the inference process. Li et al. (Li et al., 2023c) proposed the API bank to eval- uate the LLMâ s ability to utilize tools and devised a tool-augmented LLM paradigm to alleviate the limitation of in-context length. Shen et al. (Shen et al., 2023) proposed a method to combine LLM with HuggingFace to enhance the performance of LLM. Specifically, the method first employs LLM to decompose complex tasks into a series of sub- tasks and then sequentially selects suitable models from HuggingFace to perform these sub-tasks. Lu et al. (Lu et al., 2023) designed a plug-and-play compositional reasoning method, which first plans the schedule of input tasks and then composes mul- tiple tools to execute sub-tasks for achieving the original task. Liang et al. (Liang et al., 2023b) first applied a multi-model foundation model to under- stand and plan the given instructions for selecting suitable APIs from the API platform, and then uti- lized an action executor to generate results based on the selected APIs. Besides, they also exploited the feedback of humans to optimize the ability of planning and choose APIs of LLM, and the docu- ment of API in API platform. Different from the above approaches, Cai et al. (Cai et al., 2023) first employed an LLM to generate tool for input task, and then utilized an LLM to perform task based on the generated tool. Specifically, for an incoming task, if the tool required by the task has been gen- erated, the tool will be invoked directly, otherwise, the LLM will first generates tool, and then uses it. | 2309.14365#17 | 2309.14365#19 | 2309.14365 | [

As early as 1959, the worldâ s first complete artificial intelli- gence system, advice taker (McCarthy, 1959), was proposed. Subsequently, John McCarthy and oth- ers began to use the term Agent to describe the role that a computing program can play in a scene to achieve certain tasks in artificial intelligence. With reinforcement learning coming into promi- nence, the field of artificial intelligence has seen a number of notable AI agents based on reinforce- ment learning and gaming strategies, such as Al- phaGo (Silver et al., 2016), a Go agent launched by DeepMind in 2014. Similarly, OpenAI launched OpenAI Five (Berner and et al., 2019) for playing the game of Dota 2 in 2017 and DeepMind an- nounced AlphaStar (Vinyals et al., 2019) for play- ing StarCraft II.

2309.14365#22 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | LLM-based agents are naturally used in code gen- eration. A very attractive coding agent is GPT Engineer6, which can generate an entire codebase according to a prompt. GPT Engineer even learns the developerâ s coding style and lets the devel- oper finish the coding project in just a few min- utes. What makes GPT Engineer unique is that GPT Engineer asks many detailed questions to al- low developers to clarify missing details instead of accepting these requests unconditionally made by developers. 4.2. Game No other LLM-based gaming intelligence has recently received more attention than Voy- ager (Wang et al., 2023a). Voyager is an AI agent with access to GPT-4 (OpenAI, 2023). Voyager shows remarkable proficiency in playing the game of Minecraft and is able to utilize a learned skill library to solve new tasks from scratch without hu- man intervention, demonstrating strong in-context lifelong learning capabilities. | 2309.14365#21 | 2309.14365#23 | 2309.14365 | [

Coding Developers have always wanted to have a code generator to help improve programming efficiency. # 4.4. Design The idea of AI Agent has also been applied to de- sign. Diagram7 is a representative AI-powered and automatable design platform with many products, including Magician, Genius, Automator, and UI- AI, for designing high-quality charts and graphs. Taking Genius and UI-AI as examples. Genius is equivalent to a design assistant, helping to trans- form usersâ ideas into designs. Users only need to provide a product description and Genius can create fully editable UI designs. In addition, Ge- nius can provide design suggestions to help improve productivity. UI-AI contains a series of user inter- face AI models made for designers that leverage the latest advancements in AI combined with creative # 3https://pi.ai/talk 4https://chat.openai.com 5https://www.anthropic.com/index/claude-2 6https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer 7https://diagram.com/ prompting or multimodal prompts to generate de- sign assets. # 4.5. Research A number of AI agents for autonomous scientific research have emerged. ChemCrow (Bran et al., 2023) is an LLM chemistry agent designed to ac- complish various tasks such as organic synthesis, drug discovery, and materials design. It integrates 17 expert-designed chemistry tools and operates by prompting GPT-4 to provide specific instructions about the task and the format required. Specifi- cally, a set of tools is created by using a variety of chemistry-related packages and software. These tools and user prompts are provided to GPT-4 and GPT-4 determines its behavioral path before arriv- ing at the final answer through an automated, it- erative chain-of-thought process. Throughout the process, ChemCrow serves as an assistant to expert chemists while simultaneously lowering the entry barrier for non-experts by offering a simple inter- face to access accurate chemical knowledge. Agent (Boiko et al., 2023) is an exploration of emerging autonomous scientific research capabil- ities of large language models. It binds multiple LLMs together for autonomous design, planning, and execution of scientific experiments (eg., the synthesis experiment of ibuprofen and the cross- coupling experiment of Suzuki and Sonogashira reaction). | 2309.14365#22 | 2309.14365#24 | 2309.14365 | [

Collaboration Collaboration is one of the most significant appli- cations of AI agents. Many researchers have al- ready started to develop the application by allow- ing different AI agents to collaborate with each other, such as AI lawyers, AI programmers, and AI finance to form a team to complete complex tasks together. DialOp (Lin et al., 2023a) de- scribes a simple collaborative morphology, in which AI assistants collaborate with one or more hu- mans via natural language to help them make com- plex decisions. The autonomous AI agents cur- rently created by MindOS8 are also used for sim- ple human-agent collaboration to assist users with professional tasks. Compared to DialOp and Min- dOS, MetaGPT9and Multi-GPT10 allow multiple agents can automatically divide up the work and collaborate with each other to accomplish a task, with MetaGPT focusing more on software industry tasks. # 8https://mindos.com/marketplace 9https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT 10https://github.com/sidhq/Multi-GPT Additionally, Generative Agents (Park et al., 2023) are introduced to simulate human behavior. By ex- tending LLMs, complete records of the experiences of the generative agents are stored using natural language, and over time these memories are syn- thesized to form higher-level reflections that are dynamically retrieved to plan behavior. End-users can interact with a town of 25 generative agents using natural language. The architecture behind these generative agents is expected to be applied in collaborative scenarios. 4.7. General purpose In addition to specific applications, some AI agents are developed for general purposes. These AI agents generally perform a wide range of tasks across diverse domains and attempt to reach the goal by thinking of tasks to do, executing them, and learning from the results. Auto-GPT11 is one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously. The feature of completing tasks autonomously without human intervention attracts peopleâ | 2309.14365#23 | 2309.14365#25 | 2309.14365 | [

BabyAGI constructs a task list dedicated to achiev- ing the goal, derives further tasks based on the pre- vious results, and executes these tasks in order of priority until the overall goal is achieved. More- over, SuperAGI13 and AgentGPT14 support the building and deployment of autonomous AI agents, and have it embark on any goal imaginable. Al- though these AI agents are not so perfect and even have some deficiencies, their presentation is cer- tainly an important step towards artificial general intelligence. | 2309.14365#24 | 2309.14365#26 | 2309.14365 | [

Vision-Language model-based agent application LLM has already demonstrated outstanding capa- in bilities in language-only scenarios. However, some application scenarios, agents need to deal with multi-modal information, especially vision- language modalities. In such cases, modeling only the language information may not achieve satisfactory performance. Recent work considers equipping agents with the Vision-language model (VLM) to handle multi-modal information. In this subsection, we introduce some latest VLM-based agent applications. Some works attempt to ap- ply VLM in the field of embodied AI and robotics that are based on visual and language modalities. For example, Khandelwal et al. (Khandelwal et al., 11https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/ Auto-GPT 12https://github.com/yoheinakajima/babyagi 13https://github.com/TransformerOptimus/ SuperAGI 14https://github.com/reworkd/AgentGPT 2022) introduced CLIP (Radford et al., 2021) into Embodied Agents, and demonstrated that CLIP can effectively enhance the task performance of em- bodied AI. Driess et al. (Driess et al., 2023) com- bined ViT and PaLM to construct a multi-modal model named PaLM-E, which is applied in embod- ied reasoning. PaLM-E takes a multi-modal se- quence (i.e., text and image) as input and converts it into text and image embeddings. Specifically, the image embedding is generated by the ViT and a projector encode images. Then, the text and im- age embeddings serve as input to PaLM for infer- ring the decisions that the robot needs to execute. Finally, the decisions are transformed into actions by a low-level policy or planner. Some works fo- cus on the navigation task. For instance, Dorbala et al. (Dorbala et al., 2022) first used GPT-3 to break down navigation instructions into a series of sub-instructions. Then, at each time step, they utilized CLIP to select an image from the cur- rent panoramic view that corresponded to the sub- instructions, serving as the direction for the next navigation step. This process continued until the agent reached its target location. | 2309.14365#25 | 2309.14365#27 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.14365#27 | An In-depth Survey of Large Language Model-based Artificial Intelligence Agents | ZSON (Majum- dar et al., 2022) is an object-goal navigation agent designed to locate specific objects within an en- vironment. Besides, some works consider applied LVM in the field of multi-model conversational. For example, Video-ChatGPT (Maaz et al., 2023) is a video-based conversational agent fine-tuned us- ing video instruction data. It first employs the vi- sual encoder from CLIP to encode video frames into temporal and spatial features. Then, it uti- lizes a trainable adapter to map these features into the language space and combines them with query representations as inputs of LLM to generate re- sponses. Li et al.(Li et al., 2023a) introduce a conversational assistant for the biomedical field, named LLaVA-Med. It is continuously trained by LLaVA on multimodal biomedical datasets. | 2309.14365#26 | 2309.14365#28 | 2309.14365 | [

In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed agents, some works focus on designing more suitable benchmarks. For example, Valmeekam et al. (Valmeekam et al., 2023) focused on assessing the planning ability of LLMs, which is a key component of AI agents. Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2023d) designed a benchmark based on the WebShop and HotPotQA environ- ment. Their goal is to compare the performance of multiple agent architectures equipped with differ- ent LLMs. Li et al. (Li et al., 2023c) constructed a benchmark, named API Bank, to evaluate the ability of LLMs to use tools. Fan et al. (Fan et al., 2022) proposed a simulator based on Minecraft to assess the performance of open-ended embod- | 2309.14365#27 | 2309.14365#29 | 2309.14365 | [

(Xu et al., 2023) designed a benchmark, named GentBench, which consists of public and private sections, with the aim of com- prehensively evaluating the performance of agents. Specifically, GentBench includes a series of com- plex tasks that promote LLMs to employ exter- nal tools for addressing these challenges. Baner- jee (Banerjee et al., 2023) introduced an end-to- end benchmark that evaluates the performance of LLM-based chatbots by comparing generated answers with the gold answer. Lin et al. (Lin et al., 2023b) presented a task-based evaluation method, which assesses the capabilities of agents based on their task completion within the interac- tive environment. Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2023c) in- troduced a multi-dimensional benchmark, named AgentBench, which evaluates the performance of LLM across multiple environments. 6. Conclusion In this paper, we presented a comprehensive and systematic survey of the LLM-based agents. We first introduced the difference between agents based on LLM and traditional methods, then re- viewed the related works from the perspectives of components and application of AI agents. Fur- thermore, we have explored some pressing issues that require solutions and valuable research direc- tions. With the development of LLM, an increas- ing amount of research attention has been directed toward the field of AI agents, resulting in the emer- gence of numerous new technologies and methods. Through this review, we aim to assist readers in swiftly grasping the key information and applica- tions of AI agents, and also provide insights into future research directions. | 2309.14365#28 | 2309.14365#30 | 2309.14365 | [

2309.12284#1 | MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models | # Project Page: meta-math.github.io # ABSTRACT Large language models (LLMs) have pushed the limits of natural language un- derstanding and exhibited excellent problem-solving ability. Despite the great success, most existing open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA-2) are still far away from satisfactory for solving mathematical problems due to the complex reasoning proce- dures. To bridge this gap, we propose MetaMath, a finetuned language model that specializes in mathematical reasoning. Specifically, we start by bootstrapping math- ematical questions by rewriting the question from multiple perspectives, which results in a new dataset called MetaMathQA. Then we finetune the LLaMA-2 models on MetaMathQA. Experimental results on two popular benchmarks (i.e., GSM8K and MATH) for mathematical reasoning demonstrate that MetaMath out- performs a suite of open-source LLMs by a significant margin. Our MetaMath-7B model achieves 66.5% on GSM8K and 19.8% on MATH, exceeding the state-of- the-art models of the same size by 11.5% and 8.7%. Particularly, MetaMath-70B achieves an accuracy of 82.3% on GSM8K, slightly better than GPT-3.5-Turbo. We release all the MetaMathQA dataset, the MetaMath models with different model sizes and the training code for public use. | 2309.12284#0 | 2309.12284#2 | 2309.12284 | [

We note that our MetaMath-70B is finetuned by QLoRA [14] due to the computing resource limitation. Equal contribution â Corresponding author *Equal contribution â Corresponding author 1 Technical Report 1 # INTRODUCTION Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of large language models (LLMs) which emerge as the favored approach for various applications and demonstrate multi-dimensional abilities, including instruction following [6, 49, 59], coding assistance [7, 32, 39, 45], and mathematical problem-solving [13, 26, 38, 69]. Among various tasks, solving mathematical problems is more challenging as they often require highly complex and symbolic multi-step reasoning capabilities. Although some close-sourced models, e.g., GPT-3.5-Turbo [46], GPT-4 [48] and PaLM-2 [62], have demonstrated promising performance on some mathematical problem-solving benchmarks, it is still a mystery how these models are trained and what data these models use. Therefore, how to equip open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA [61, 62]) with good mathematical problem-solving skills remains an open challenge. To tackle this challenge, two popular lines of research to improve the mathematical problem-solving abilities of LLMs are: prompt-based methods and finetuning-based methods. Prompt-based meth- ods [18, 18, 66, 66, 67, 74] aim to activate the potential capacities of LLMs by choosing suitable prompting inputs without modifying the model parameters. Finetuning-based methods update the open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA) under the guidance of some other powerful closed-source LLMs (e.g., GPT-3.5 [46], GPT-4 [48]). While prompt-based methods are model-dependent and sensi- tive to many factors, finetuning-based methods, despite being simple and model-agnostic, heavily rely on effective training data on downstream mathematical questions. Our work aims to improve finetuning-based methods with a novel method to bootstrap available mathematical questions in the training set. Specifically, we propose to bootstrap the questions in both forward and backward reasoning directions. For the forward direction, we have the original and LLM-rephrased questions. | 2309.12284#6 | 2309.12284#8 | 2309.12284 | [

2309.12284#8 | MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models | For the backward direction, we have the self-verification question [68] and FOBAR question [28]. To construct backward reasoning questions, we mask a token in a question using an identifier â xâ and ask the model to predict the masked token if the answer is provided. Different from [28, 68] that apply backward reasoning for inference verification, we use it as a form of question for lan- guage model fine-tuning. For answers, we adopt an answer augmentation method based on rejection sampling [69], where diverse reasoning paths are generated and only those with correct answers are used. After combining both forward and backward mathematical questions with augmented answers, we construct a new dataset for fine-tuning, called MetaMathQA. By fine-tuning LLaMA-2 on MetaMathQA, we obtain our MetaMath model. Our approach is guided by the insight that a mathematical question represents merely a single view of the underlying meta-knowledge. Therefore, question bootstrapping can be viewed as a form of multi-view augmentation in order to enable the transfer of the meta-knowledge. Leveraging the MetaMathQA dataset, MetaMath demonstrates exceptional performance in mathematical reasoning, positioning it among the top performers on widely recognized evaluation benchmarks. Another motivation behind question bootstrap- ping is to enlarge the question diversity [16] such that the question distribution can be rich enough to cover more unseen scenarios. We quantify the question diversity of the original questions and our MetaMathQA dataset in Fig- ure 2. The diversity gain [5] indicates how diverse the question is compared to the exist- ing dataset, and larger diversity gain means the new question is more different from the existing dataset. With question bootstrapping, our Meta- MathQA dataset is much more diverse than the original dataset. We also observe that the test accuracy without bootstrapped questions rapidly reaches a state of saturation. In contrast, the test accuracy, when using bootstrapped questions, continues to exhibit a steady increase. 62 56-7 ra 0.06 20k 40k 60K 80K 100k Data Size ° w/o Question Bootstrapping w/ Question Bootstrapping 2 ° a ° ® 2 Diversity Gain 0.08 Figure 2: GSM8K accuracy of LLaMA-2-7B finetuned on different sizes of answer augmentation data. | 2309.12284#7 | 2309.12284#9 | 2309.12284 | [

Detailed experimental setup is given in Section 4.1. Question bootstrapping also has an intrinsic connection to dataset distillation [65, 72] and machine teaching [35, 36, 52, 75], where the shared target is to construct a training dataset that best facilitates generalization.

MetaMath aims to transfer the underlying meta-knowledge to enable strong generalization [30]. Our contributions are listed below: â ¢ We propose a novel question bootstrapping method to augment the training dataset, resulting in MetaMathQA. Question bootstrapping rewrites questions with both forward and backward reasoning paths and also leverages LLMs to rephrase the question text. â ¢ Based on the MetaMathQA dataset, MetaMath is finetuned from state-of-the-art open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA-2), showing excellent elementary mathematical problem-solving capability. â ¢ We identify an important factor when creating the MetaMathQA dataset â question diversity. The diversity is particularly important in reasoning directions, and backward reasoning questions are very helpful for LLMs to understand mathematical knowledge without memorization. | 2309.12284#9 | 2309.12284#11 | 2309.12284 | [

2309.12284#12 | MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models | â ¢ Our work studies data augmentation for improving the mathematical problem-solving ability of LLMs. Despite being simple, our method significantly outperforms many intricate methods. Our results highlight the importance of data augmentation and also shed light on other reasoning tasks. # 2 RELATED WORK Large Language Models (LLMs) [6, 15, 37, 53, 54, 61] have achieved great success in various natural language processing tasks, e.g., topic classification [29, 42], sentiment classification [6, 42], translation [6], by few-shot prompting (or in-context learning) [6, 9, 42]. Recently, Wang et al. [66], Wei et al. [67] show that LLMs with more than 100B parameters (e.g., GPT-3 [6] with 175B, PaLM with 540B [11]) can solve complex tasks by generating multiple reasoning steps towards the answer when given a few reasoning examples as demonstration. While both GPT-3.5 [46] and GPT-4 [48] have shown promising reasoning ability for complex mathematical tasks like MATH [21], the performance of open-source models (e.g., LLaMA-1 [61], LLaMA-2 [62]) is far from satisfactory. Learning Mathematical Reasoning for complex math tasks like GSM8K [12] and MATH [21] is one of the most challenging problem in open-source LLMs. Wei et al. [67] enhances the reasoning ability of LLMs by augmenting the output with a sequence of intermediate steps toward the answer. A few methods [18, 66, 74] are proposed to improve the quality of reasoning paths. For example, Complexity-based CoT [18] selects examples with more steps as in-context demonstrations and shows that prompting with more reasoning steps leads to better performance. Self-Consistency [66] samples multiple reasoning paths and selects the final answer by majority voting. Another category of work is finetuning-based methods, which finetunes open-source models (e.g., LLaMA) with the knowledge from some advanced closed-source LLMs [46, 48]. Magister et al. [40] investigates the transfer of reasoning capabilities via knowledge distillation. Yuan et al. [69] proposes to apply rejection sampling finetuning (RFT) to improve mathematical reasoning performance. | 2309.12284#11 | 2309.12284#13 | 2309.12284 | [

2309.12284#13 | MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models | WizardMath [38] proposes a reinforced evol-instruct method to enhance reasoning abilities by supervised fine-tuning and PPO training [55]. MAmmoTH [70] combines CoT and Program-of-Thought [8] rationales for teaching LLMs to use external tools (e.g., Python interpreter) for solving mathematical problems. Wang et al. [64] propose a constraint alignment loss to finetune LLMs for calibration. Knowledge Distillation [19, 22] transfers knowledge from a larger teacher model to a smaller student model, achieving promising performance in many applications [20, 43, 50, 56], Recently, [17, 23â 25, 33, 40, 57] propose to transfer reasoning abilities from LLMs (e.g., GPT-3.5 [46], PaLM [11]) to small language models (e.g., T5 [54], GPT-2 [53]). For example, Finetune-CoT [23] samples multiple reasoning paths from LLMs and finetune the student model with correct ones, while Self-Improve [25] chooses the one with the highest confidence. Li et al. [33] further feeds the question and ground-truth label to LLMs for prompting its reasoning path. Shridhar et al. [57] proposes to generate sub-questions and solution pairs for training. Small models finetuned by knowledge distillation can achieve similar performance to LLMs [23, 40] on both common sense reasoning (e.g., CommonSenseQA [58]) and symbol reasoning (e.g., Coin Flip [67]). However, for solving challenging mathematical problems (e.g., GSM8K [12]), there is still a large performance gap [17, 23, 40]. | 2309.12284#12 | 2309.12284#14 | 2309.12284 | [

2309.12284#14 | MetaMath: Bootstrap Your Own Mathematical Questions for Large Language Models | 3 Technical Report # 3 METHOD The overview of our method is illustrated in Figure 1. Given a meta-question (a sample in the original mathematical training set), we can generate a series of variants. Specifically, we perform three types of question bootstrapping. Combined with answer augmentation, we present MetaMathQA, a diverse and high-quality mathematical dataset based on GSM8K and MATH. We then present MetaMath, a family of LLMs finetuned on MetaMathQA focusing on elementary mathematical problem-solving. 3.1 ANSWER AUGMENTATION (ANSAUG) Generating more reasoning paths is a simple but effective way to augment the training set. For a question qi, we use few-shot chain-of-thought prompting with temperature sampling to generate KAnsAug more reasoning paths {(r(j) i ) : j = 1, . . . , KAnsAug}: the question is appended to a few in-context reasoning examples, then fed to the LLM for generating its reasoning path r(j) and answer a(j) i DAnsAug = {(qi, r(j) i , a(j) i ) : a(j) i = aâ i ; i = 1, . . . , Nq; j = 1, . . . , KAnsAug}. (1) # 3.2 QUESTION BOOTSTRAPPING BY LLM REPHRASING Generating more answers for mathematical questions with LLMs is straightforward, but creating questions is more challenging. The questions in GSM8K and MATH are written by well-educated teachers. Hence, enlarging the question set through manual creation is time-consuming and labor- intensive. To address this issue, we propose rephrasing prompting to generate more questions through the LLM. Specifically, for a question qi, we append it to the prompt, which is then fed to the LLM for generating the rephrased question. Example 3.1 shows a generated rephrased question and the complete prompt is shown in Appendix A.1. We adopt temperature sampling to sample Krephrase rephrased questions for each meta-question. For the rephrased questions, it is time-consuming to manually check the consistency compared with the original questions. We propose a supervised method to evaluate the correctness between the rephrased questions and the meta-questions. For each rephrased question Ë | 2309.12284#13 | 2309.12284#15 | 2309.12284 | [

The accuracy of Complexity-based CoT [18] for answering the rephrased question by GPT-3.5-Turbo is 76.30%, which is comparable to that of answering the original training questions (80.74%). This suggests that the quality of rephrased questions is preserved high while the question diversity is improved. We collect the rephrased questions with correct answers (i.e., Ë a(j) Drephrase = {(Ë qi, Ë r(j) i , Ë a(j) i ) : Ë a(j) i = aâ i ; i = 1, . . . , Nq; j = 1, . . . , Krephrase}.
