用分层任务抽象机制构建专用智能体,提升地理空间分析的准确性与可靠性。
Designing Domain-Specific Agents via Hierarchical Task Abstraction Mechanism
- 通过分层任务结构模拟领域内任务依赖关系,替代传统角色扮演模式。
- 在地理规划基准测试中表现显著优于多种单/多智能体系统。
- 适合需要复杂流程执行的科研与工程类场景,如遥感数据分析。
基于大语言模型的智能体,尤其采用通用框架(如 ReAct)或类人角色扮演的方式,在需要严格工作流的专精领域(如遥感)中常面临挑战。这类领域涉及专用工具(如校正、光谱指数计算)和多步操作(如多个中间产物及可选步骤),对通用方法构成显著压力。为此,我们提出一种新型智能体设计框架,核心为分层任务抽象机制(HTAM)。HTAM不模仿社会角色,而是将多智能体系统组织成逻辑层级,映射特定领域的内在任务依赖图。该任务中心架构强制流程正确性,并将复杂问题分解为逐层执行的子任务,每一层的子智能体基于前一层输出进行操作。我们以地球智能体(EarthAgent)为例,构建了针对复杂地理空间分析的多智能体系统。为评估其复杂规划能力,我们建立了 GeoPlan-bench 基准,包含真实、多步的地理空间规划任务,并配备工具选择、路径相似度与逻辑完整性等评估指标。实验表明,EarthAgent 显著优于多种既有单/多智能体系统。研究证明,将智能体架构与领域内在任务结构对齐,是构建可靠专精自治系统的关键一步。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LLM-driven agents, particularly those using general frameworks like ReAct or human-inspired role-playing, often struggle in specialized domains that necessitate rigorously structured workflows. Fields such as remote sensing, requiring specialized tools (e.g., correction, spectral indices calculation), and multi-step procedures (e.g., numerous intermediate products and optional steps), significantly challenge generalized approaches. To address this gap, we introduce a novel agent design framework centered on a Hierarchical Task Abstraction Mechanism (HTAM). Specifically, HTAM moves beyond emulating social roles, instead structuring multi-agent systems into a logical hierarchy that mirrors the intrinsic task-dependency graph of a given domain. This task-centric architecture thus enforces procedural correctness and decomposes complex problems into sequential layers, where each layer's sub-agents operate on the outputs of the preceding layers. We instantiate this framework as EarthAgent, a multi-agent system tailored for complex geospatial analysis. To evaluate such complex planning capabilities, we build GeoPlan-bench, a comprehensive benchmark of realistic, multi-step geospatial planning tasks. It is accompanied by a suite of carefully designed metrics to evaluate tool selection, path similarity, and logical completeness. Experiments show that EarthAgent substantially outperforms a range of established single- and multi-agent systems. Our work demonstrates that aligning agent architecture with a domain's intrinsic task structure is a critical step toward building robust and reliable specialized autonomous systems.
