A study by Northwestern University, Tsinghua University, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong introduces a moral framework called “reason for future, act for now” (RAFA) to improve the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. They use a Bayesian adaptive MDP paradigm to describe how LLMs reason and act. RAFA performs well on text-based benchmarks such as Game of 24, ALFWorld, BlocksWorld, and Tic-Tac-Toe. It is a flexible algorithm that excels in various settings and tasks with high sample efficiency.
**Introducing RAFA: A Principled AI Framework for Autonomous LLM Agents with Provable Sample Efficiency**
LLMs (middle managers) have excellent reasoning capabilities, but they need improvement in applying those capabilities in practical settings. Northwestern University, Tsinghua University, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a new study called “reason for future, act for now” (RAFA) to address this.
RAFA provides a moral framework that allows LLMs to proveably accomplish tasks with minimal interactions with the outside world. It includes a long-term trajectory planner that learns from prompts for reasoning and creates a series of actions to achieve goals.
The researchers use Bayesian adaptive Markov decision processes (MDPs) to represent reasoning in LLMs. By consulting a memory buffer and designing actions that maximize value, LLMs can learn a more accurate posterior distribution over the environment. The reasoning routine is invoked to plot new courses of action when the environment changes.
RAFA has been tested on various benchmarks, including Game of 24, ALFWorld, BlocksWorld, and Tic-Tac-Toe. In each case, RAFA outperforms competing frameworks and demonstrates exceptional sample efficiency.
In conclusion, RAFA is a flexible and efficient algorithm that excels in various settings and tasks. It offers practical solutions for LLMs to improve their reasoning and achieve goals more effectively.
