Proposer-Agent-Evaluator(PAE): Autonomous Skill Discovery For Foundation Model Internet Agents

  • 用上下文感知的任务生成器自动提出可学习的网页操作任务。
  • 在WebVoyager和WebArena上实现当前最佳性能,成功率超基准30%以上。
  • 适合想构建自进化网络代理的研究者与开发者。

通用基础模型推动了具备目标导向能力的智能体发展,如数字世界的网页浏览代理和物理世界的人形机器人。这类通用智能体需具备丰富多样的技能,例如跨地点导航或网购商品。若每项技能都依赖人工标注指令,其能力将受限于标注数据的数量与多样性。为此,本文提出Proposer-Agent-Evaluator(PAE)系统,使基础模型代理能在真实环境中自主发现并实践技能。PAE包含一个基于环境上下文(如用户演示或网站名称)的任务生成器,引导智能体通过思考与真实操作执行任务,由基于视觉语言模型(VLM)的成功评估器自动判断结果,并作为强化学习(RL)的奖励信号优化策略。我们在挑战性的基于视觉的网页导航任务上验证了PAE,涵盖WebVoyager与自托管网站。据我们所知,这是首个将自主任务提议与强化学习结合、在真实人类标注基准上实现当前最优表现的学习系统。开源代码与检查点见https://yanqval.github.io/PAE/

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The vision of a broadly capable and goal-directed agent, such as an Internet-browsing agent in the digital world and a household humanoid in the physical world, has rapidly advanced, thanks to the generalization capability of foundation models. Such a generalist agent needs to have a large and diverse skill repertoire, such as finding directions between two travel locations and buying specific items from the Internet. If each skill needs to be specified manually through a fixed set of human-annotated instructions, the agent's skill repertoire will necessarily be limited due to the quantity and diversity of human-annotated instructions. In this work, we address this challenge by proposing Proposer-Agent-Evaluator, an effective learning system that enables foundation model agents to autonomously discover and practice skills in the wild. At the heart of PAE is a context-aware task proposer that autonomously proposes tasks for the agent to practice with context information of the environment such as user demos or even just the name of the website itself for Internet-browsing agents. Then, the agent policy attempts those tasks with thoughts and actual grounded operations in the real world with resulting trajectories evaluated by an autonomous VLM-based success evaluator. The success evaluation serves as the reward signal for the agent to refine its policies through RL. We validate PAE on challenging vision-based web navigation, using both real-world and self-hosted websites from WebVoyager and WebArena.To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first effective learning system to apply autonomous task proposal with RL for agents that generalizes real-world human-annotated benchmarks with SOTA performances.
