Multi-Agent Transactive Memory

- 构建共享知识库,存储并检索智能体生成的解题轨迹。
- 在ALFWorld和WebArena中,任务完成率提升23%,交互步数减少31%。
- 无需协调或联合训练,适合开放智能体生态系统的通用设计
将具备多样化能力的大型语言模型智能体分布式部署于多样任务中,催生了跨异构智能体群体的知识共享需求。如同搜索引擎索引人类生成内容以支持问题求解,检索系统也可组织智能体生成内容以供群体复用。我们拓展了检索增强生成技术——该技术已证明人类创作内容对单个智能体的价值——将其应用于智能体生成内容的检索,以支持智能体群体。特别是,智能体轨迹蕴含可复用的过程性知识,但通常在单次使用后被丢弃,或仅由生成者保留,导致新实例化智能体需重复发现已有解决方案。我们提出多智能体情景记忆(MATM)框架,实现智能体生成轨迹的群体级存储与检索:生产者智能体将轨迹贡献至共享仓库,消费者智能体则从中检索以优化任务执行。聚焦于交互环境(ALFWorld和WebArena),其中轨迹长且蕴含丰富的过程结构。实验表明,从MATM检索轨迹能提升下游任务性能,并减少交互步数,且无需协调或联合训练。这些结果使MATM成为开放智能体生态系统中群体经验共享的设计范式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The decentralized deployment of LLM agents with diverse capabilities across diverse tasks motivates infrastructure for knowledge sharing across heterogeneous agent populations. Just as search engines index human-generated artifacts to support human problem solving, retrieval systems can organize agent-generated artifacts for reuse across agent populations. We extend retrieval-augmented generation - which demonstrates the value of human-authored artifacts to individual agents - to retrieval of agent-generated artifacts supporting a population of agents. In particular, agent trajectories encode reusable procedural knowledge, yet these artifacts are typically discarded after a single use or retained only by the producing agent, forcing newly instantiated agents to repeatedly rediscover existing solutions. We propose Multi-Agent Transactive Memory (MATM), a framework for population-level storage and retrieval of agent-generated trajectories, where producer agents contribute trajectories to a shared repository and consumer agents retrieve them to improve task execution. We focus on interactive environments (ALFWorld and WebArena), where trajectories are long and encode especially rich procedural structure. Our experiments demonstrate that retrieving trajectories from MATM improves downstream task performance and reduces interaction steps without coordination or joint training. These results position MATM as a design pattern for population-level experience sharing in open agent ecosystems.
