Agent Planning with World Knowledge Model

arXiv 24.5 2024 61.9 method

TLDR

Introduces a parametric World Knowledge Model to improve LLM agent planning by providing global prior and local dynamic knowledge, reducing trial-and-error and hallucination.

Reasoning

The paper presents a novel approach to enhance LLM-based agent planning with a World Knowledge Model, showing strong empirical results on real-world simulated datasets. However, the abstract lacks details on the model architecture and limitations, and the term 'world model' is used loosely, potentially overclaiming.

Deep Analysis

Innovations

  • Parametric World Knowledge Model (WKM) providing global prior knowledge and local dynamic knowledge for agent planning
  • Self-synthesis of knowledge from both expert and sampled trajectories
  • Instance-level task knowledge that generalizes better to unseen tasks
  • Weak WKM can guide strong agent model planning
  • Unified WKM training showing promising potential for further development

Methodology

The method steers the agent model to self-synthesize knowledge from expert and sampled trajectories. A parametric World Knowledge Model (WKM) is then developed to provide prior task knowledge for global planning and dynamic state knowledge for local planning. Experiments are conducted on three complex real-world simulated datasets using three state-of-the-art open-source LLMs (Mistral-7B, Gemma-7B, Llama-3-8B) and compared against various strong baselines.

Key Results

The proposed method achieves superior performance compared to strong baselines across all datasets and LLMs. It effectively alleviates blind trial-and-error and hallucinatory action issues, and demonstrates that instance-level task knowledge generalizes to unseen tasks, weak WKM can guide strong agent models, and unified WKM training has promising potential.
