用模态逻辑增强语言模型,让智能体更可靠地诊断复杂系统故障。

Agentic System with Modal Logic for Autonomous Diagnostics

  • 将代理信念建模为克里普克结构,用模态逻辑推理可能性与必然性。
  • 在粒子加速器模拟中成功诊断级联故障,错误率显著低于纯语言模型。
  • 适合需要高可靠性、可解释性的工业故障诊断场景。

智能代理,特别是由语言模型驱动的代理,在需要自主决策的复杂环境中扮演着关键角色。环境并非被动测试平台,而是要求代理具备适应性、复杂性和自主决策能力的挑战性数据源。尽管模型和数据集的规模扩展带来了显著的涌现能力,但我们认为,提升代理在环境中推理结构、保真度和逻辑一致性是尚未充分探索的重要方向。本文提出一种神经符号多代理架构,将各代理的信念状态形式化表示为克里普克模型,使其能够使用模态逻辑的正式语言推理“可能性”与“必然性”。本研究利用不可变的领域特定知识进行根因诊断,将其编码为逻辑约束,确保诊断过程的正确性、可靠性与可解释性。所提模型通过逻辑约束主动引导语言模型生成假设,有效避免其得出物理或逻辑上不成立的结论。在高保真粒子加速器模拟环境中,系统成功诊断出复杂级联故障,结合了语言模型的语义直觉与模态逻辑的严格验证能力,展示了构建更鲁棒、可靠、可验证自主代理的可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The development of intelligent agents, particularly those powered by language models (LMs), has shown a critical role in various environments that require intelligent and autonomous decision-making. Environments are not passive testing grounds, and they represent the data required for agents to learn and exhibit in very challenging conditions that require adaptive, complex, and autonomous capacity to make decisions. While the paradigm of scaling models and datasets has led to remarkable emergent capabilities, we argue that scaling the structure, fidelity, and logical consistency of agent reasoning within these environments is a crucial, yet underexplored, dimension of AI research. This paper introduces a neuro-symbolic multi-agent architecture where the belief states of individual agents are formally represented as Kripke models. This foundational choice enables them to reason about known concepts of \emph{possibility} and \emph{necessity} using the formal language of modal logic. In this work, we use immutable, domain-specific knowledge to make an informed root cause diagnosis, which is encoded as logical constraints essential for proper, reliable, and explainable diagnosis. In the proposed model, we show constraints that actively guide the hypothesis generation of LMs, effectively preventing them from reaching physically or logically untenable conclusions. In a high-fidelity simulated particle accelerator environment, our system successfully diagnoses complex, cascading failures by combining the powerful semantic intuition of LMs with the rigorous, verifiable validation of modal logic and a factual world model and showcasing a viable path toward more robust, reliable, and verifiable autonomous agents.
