用分组相对优化提升大模型多智能体通信拓扑学习的稳定性

Graph-GRPO: Stabilizing Multi-Agent Topology Learning via Group Relative Policy Optimization

  • 通过分组对比评估通信图性能,避免单样本奖励噪声
  • 在推理与代码生成任务上显著优于现有方法,训练更稳定
  • 适合关注多智能体协作效率与拓扑优化的研究者

优化通信拓扑是提升基于大语言模型的多智能体系统效率与效果的关键。尽管近期方法采用强化学习动态构建任务特定的图结构,但通常依赖单样本策略梯度与绝对奖励(如二值正确性),导致梯度方差大且信用分配困难:简单查询对次优结构产生无信息的正奖励,而复杂查询失败时则无学习信号。为此,我们提出 Graph-GRPO,一种集成分组相对策略优化的拓扑优化框架。不同于孤立评估单一拓扑,Graph-GRPO 为每个查询采样一组多样化的通信图,并基于其在组内的相对表现计算特定边的优势。通过组内归一化奖励,该方法有效缓解了任务难度差异带来的噪声,实现细粒度信用分配。在推理与代码生成基准上的大量实验表明,Graph-GRPO 显著优于当前最优基线,展现出更优的训练稳定性,并识别出此前被奖励噪声掩盖的关键通信路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Optimizing communication topology is fundamental to the efficiency and effectiveness of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). While recent approaches utilize reinforcement learning to dynamically construct task-specific graphs, they typically rely on single-sample policy gradients with absolute rewards (e.g., binary correctness). This paradigm suffers from severe gradient variance and the credit assignment problem: simple queries yield non-informative positive rewards for suboptimal structures, while difficult queries often result in failures that provide no learning signal. To address these challenges, we propose Graph-GRPO, a novel topology optimization framework that integrates Group Relative Policy Optimization. Instead of evaluating a single topology in isolation, Graph-GRPO samples a group of diverse communication graphs for each query and computes the advantage of specific edges based on their relative performance within the group. By normalizing rewards across the sampled group, our method effectively mitigates the noise derived from task difficulty variance and enables fine-grained credit assignment. Extensive experiments on reasoning and code generation benchmarks demonstrate that Graph-GRPO significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving superior training stability and identifying critical communication pathways previously obscured by reward noise.
