用检索合成可互操作的多智能体工作流,解决开放科学场景下的协作难题。
AgentCo-op: Retrieval-Based Synthesis of Interoperable Multi-Agent Workflows

- 基于检索组合技能、工具与外部智能体,通过类型化成果交接生成可执行流程。
- 在两个基因组学案例中成功整合独立开发的智能体,实现可审计的协同发现。
- 支持以搜索结果为先验进行局部修复,适合科研自动化与工具复用场景。
在开放科学场景中,任务缺乏标注数据集、可靠评估指标和标准化接口,使得多智能体工作流设计极为困难。本文提出AgentCo-op,一种基于检索的合成框架,通过类型化成果交接将可复用的技能、工具和外部智能体组合成可执行工作流,并在执行失败时应用有界自引导局部修复。在两个开放世界基因组学案例中,AgentCo-op无需重设计或全局拓扑搜索,即可将独立开发的科学智能体和外部工具库整合为可审计的工作流。它协调空间转录组学和基因集解释专用智能体,实现从空间转录组数据中的协作发现;并构建了针对单细胞多组学数据的跨模态标记物分析并行工作流。AgentCo-op还可将搜索到的工作流作为结构先验,通过检索组件锚定节点并应用局部修复进行优化,表明合成与搜索具有互补性。在六个编码、数学与问答基准上,其在四个任务中表现最佳,统一骨干设置下平均得分最高,且任务成本持续低于多智能体基线。结果表明,基于检索的合成可将自动智能体工作流设计从基准优化图扩展至由现有智能体、工具和类型化成果构建的开放世界工作流。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Designing multi-agent workflows is especially difficult in open-ended scientific settings where tasks lack curated training sets, reliable scalar evaluation metrics, and standardized interfaces between existing tools and agents. We propose AgentCo-op, a retrieval-based synthesis framework that composes reusable skills, tools, and external agents into executable workflows through typed artifact handoffs, then applies bounded self-guided local repair to implicated components when execution evidence indicates failure. In two open-world genomics case studies, AgentCo-op composes independently developed scientific agents and external tool repositories into auditable workflows without redesigning them or running global topology search. It coordinates specialized agents for spatial transcriptomics and gene-set interpretation to enable collaborative discovery from spatial transcriptomics data, and builds a parallel workflow for cross-modality marker analysis on single-cell multiome data. AgentCo-op can also import a searched workflow as a structural prior and improve it by grounding nodes with retrieved components and applying local repair, showing that synthesis and search are complementary. On six coding, math, and question-answering benchmarks, AgentCo-op achieves the best result on four benchmarks and the best average score under a unified backbone setting, while consistently reducing per-task cost relative to multi-agent baselines. Together, these results suggest that retrieval-based synthesis can extend automated agentic workflow design beyond benchmark-optimized agent graphs to open-world workflows built from existing agents, tools, and typed artifacts.
