Maestro: Learning to Collaborate via Conditional Listwise Policy Optimization for Multi-Agent LLMs

  • 分角色协作:并行探索+中心评估,解耦发散与收敛思维。
  • 实验显示平均准确率提升6%,最高达10%。
  • 适合复杂推理任务,尤其数学与通用问题求解场景。

基于大语言模型的多智能体系统在解决复杂问题时表现优于单模型推理,但其成功依赖于平衡广泛探索与收敛求解之间的认知张力。现有方法常因过早达成共识、错误传播及难以区分真实推理与表面合理论证,导致信用分配失效。为此,我们提出多智能体探索-合成框架(Maestro),通过角色协同结构化解耦两种认知模式:并行执行代理负责多样化探索,中央代理专注评估与收敛合成。为实现有效合成,引入条件列表策略优化(CLPO),结合决策导向的策略梯度与基于理由的列表级排序损失,实现清晰的信用分配与更强的对比监督。在数学推理与通用问题求解基准上的实验表明,Maestro联合CLPO显著超越现有最先进多智能体方法,平均准确率提升6%,最高达10%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-agent systems (MAS) built on Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used to approach complex problems and can surpass single model inference. However, their success hinges on navigating a fundamental cognitive tension: the need to balance broad, divergent exploration of the solution space with a principled, convergent synthesis to the optimal solution. Existing paradigms often struggle to manage this duality, leading to premature consensus, error propagation, and a critical credit assignment problem that fails to distinguish between genuine reasoning and superficially plausible arguments. To resolve this core challenge, we propose the Multi-Agent Exploration-Synthesis framework Through Role Orchestration (Maestro), a principled paradigm for collaboration that structurally decouples these cognitive modes. Maestro uses a collective of parallel Execution Agents for diverse exploration and a specialized Central Agent for convergent, evaluative synthesis. To operationalize this critical synthesis phase, we introduce Conditional Listwise Policy Optimization (CLPO), a reinforcement learning objective that disentangles signals for strategic decisions and tactical rationales. By combining decision-focused policy gradients with a list-wise ranking loss over justifications, CLPO achieves clean credit assignment and stronger comparative supervision. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and general problem-solving benchmarks demonstrate that Maestro, coupled with CLPO, consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art multi-agent approaches, delivering absolute accuracy gains of 6% on average and up to 10% at best.
