让多个独立AI模型协作提效,无需改代码或数据。

StackingNet: Collective Inference Across Independent AI Foundation Models

  • 用元集成框架聚合多个黑盒模型的预测结果
  • 在多任务中提升准确率,减少个体与群体误差
  • 适合想组合多个现成模型的开发者和研究者

基于大型基础模型的人工智能已改变语言理解、计算机视觉和推理能力,但这些系统仍相互隔离,难以共享能力。协调独立开发的黑盒基础模型的互补优势对构建可信智能系统至关重要,但目前尚无成熟方法。本文提出一种称为 StackingNet 的元集成框架,通过在推理阶段聚合独立模型的输出预测来实现协同。StackingNet 提升了准确性,降低了单个模型的误差和组间差异,可评估模型可靠性,并识别或剔除拖累性能的模型,且无需访问内部参数或训练数据。在语言理解、视觉属性估计和学术论文评分任务中,其表现持续优于单个模型和经典集成方法,即使基模型整体实力强时仍能获得增益。这些改进源于独立模型间的方差减少和共识对齐,而非涌现式群体认知,且随着模型池多样性增加而扩大。通过将模型多样性从不一致来源转变为合作资源,StackingNet 为协同人工智能提供了可行路径,使进步不仅来自更大单体模型,更来自众多专业化模型的有原则协作。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Artificial intelligence built on large foundation models has transformed language understanding, computer vision, and reasoning, yet these systems remain isolated and cannot readily share their capabilities. Coordinating the complementary strengths of independently developed, black-box foundation models is essential for trustworthy intelligent systems, yet no established method exists. Here we show that such coordination can be achieved through a meta-ensemble framework termed StackingNet, which aggregates the output predictions of independent models at inference. StackingNet improves accuracy, reduces individual-model error and group-wise disparities, ranks model reliability, and identifies or prunes models that degrade performance, all without access to internal parameters or training data. Across language comprehension, visual attribute estimation, and academic paper rating, it consistently outperforms individual models and classic ensembles, with gains that persist when the base models are uniformly strong. These gains stem from variance reduction and consensus alignment among independent models rather than from any emergent group cognition, and they widen as the model pool grows more diverse. By turning model diversity from a source of inconsistency into a resource for cooperation, StackingNet offers a practical path toward coordinated artificial intelligence, where progress emerges not only from larger single models but from principled cooperation among many specialized ones.
