Collaborative Belief Reasoning with LLMs for Efficient Multi-Agent Collaboration

  • 构建联合信念世界,让大模型动态推理伙伴意图
  • 通信成本降低64%-79%,任务完成效率提升4%-28%
  • 适合需要高效协作的多智能体系统研究者

真实世界的多智能体协作不仅需要精准规划,还需推理合作者的意图,以避免在部分可观测环境下出现协调失误和冗余通信。由于具备强大的规划与推理能力,大语言模型(LLMs)已成为协同任务求解的有力候选。然而,现有基于LLM的协作框架忽视了其动态意图推断潜力,导致计划不一致和沟通冗余,降低协作效率。为此,我们提出CoBel-World框架,为LLM智能体配备‘协作信念世界’——一种联合建模物理环境与合作者心理状态的内部表征。该框架通过符号化信念模块将外部开放世界知识转化为结构化信念,并利用大模型进行零样本贝叶斯式信念更新。这使智能体能主动检测潜在的协调冲突(如计划矛盾),并自适应沟通。在挑战性具身基准(TDW-MAT和C-WAH)上评估,CoBel-World相比最强基线,通信成本降低64%-79%,任务完成效率提升4%-28%。结果表明,显式的、意图感知的信念建模对实现高效且类人化的基于大模型的多智能体协作至关重要。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Effective real-world multi-agent collaboration requires not only accurate planning but also the ability to reason about collaborators' intents--a crucial capability for avoiding miscoordination and redundant communication under partial observable environments. Due to their strong planning and reasoning capabilities, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as promising autonomous agents for collaborative task solving. However, existing collaboration frameworks for LLMs overlook their reasoning potential for dynamic intent inference, and thus produce inconsistent plans and redundant communication, reducing collaboration efficiency. To bridge this gap, we propose CoBel-World, a novel framework that equips LLM agents with a Collaborative Belief World--an internal representation jointly modeling the physical environment and collaborators' mental states. CoBel-World enables agents to parse external open-world knowledge into structured beliefs via a symbolic belief representation module, and perform zero-shot Bayesian-style belief updates through LLM reasoning. This allows agents to proactively detect potential miscoordination (e.g., conflicting plans) and communicate adaptively. Evaluated on challenging embodied benchmarks (i.e., TDW-MAT and C-WAH), CoBel-World significantly reduces communication costs by 64-79% and improves task completion efficiency by 4-28% compared to the strongest baseline. Our results show that explicit, intent-aware belief modeling is essential for efficient and human-like collaboration in LLM-based multi-agent systems.
