Knowledge-Augmented Planning for LLM-Based Agents.

📄Paper • 🌐Web

---

​ Our development is grounded on several key steps: Initially, we create an extensive action knowledge base, which amalgamates action planning knowledge pertinent to specific tasks. This database acts as an external reservoir of information, steering the model's action generation process. Subsequently, by converting action knowledge into text, we enable the model to deeply understand and utilize this knowledge in creating action trajectories. Finally, through a knowledgeable self-learning phase, we use trajectories developed from the model's iterative processes to continually improve its understanding and application of action knowledge. This process not only strengthens the agents' planning abilities but also enhances their potential for application in complex situations.

• [2024-03] We release a new paper: "KnowAgent: Knowledge-Augmented Planning for LLM-Based Agents".

🔧Installation

To get started with KnowAgent, follow these simple installation steps:

git clone https://github.com/zjunlp/KnowAgent.git
cd KnowAgent
pip install -r requirements.txt

We have placed the HotpotQA and ALFWorld datasets under Path_Generation/alfworld_run/data and Path_Generation/hotpotqa_run/data respectively. For further configuration, we recommend proceeding with the original setup of ALFWorld and FastChat.

🗺️Planning Path Generation

The Planning Path Generation process is integral to KnowAgent. You can find the scripts for running the Planning Path Generation in Path_Generation directory, specifically run_alfworld.sh and run_hotpotqa.sh. These scripts can be executed using bash commands. To tailor the scripts to your needs, you may modify the mode parameter to switch between training (train) and testing (test)modes, and change the llm_name parameter to use a different LLM:

cd Path_Generation

# For training with HotpotQA
python run_hotpotqa.py --llm_name llama-2-13b --max_context_len 4000 --mode train --output_path ../Self-Learning/trajs/

# For testing with HotpotQA
python run_hotpotqa.py --llm_name llama-2-13b --max_context_len 4000 --mode test --output_path output/
    
# For training with ALFWorld
python alfworld_run/run_alfworld.py --llm_name llama-2-13b --mode train --output_path ../Self-Learning/trajs/

# For testing with ALFWorld
python alfworld_run/run_alfworld.py --llm_name llama-2-13b --mode test --output_path output/

Here we release the trajectories synthesized by Llama-{7,13,70}b-chat in Google Drive before Filtering.

♟️Knowledgeable Self-Learning

After obtaining the planning paths and corresponding trajectories, the Knowledgeable Self-Learning process begins. The generated trajectories must first be converted into the Alpaca format using the scripts located in the Self-Learning directory.

For the initial iterations, follow the steps outlined in traj_reformat.sh:

cd Self-Learning
# For HotpotQA
python train/Hotpotqa_reformat.py --input_path trajs/KnowAgentHotpotQA_llama-2-13b.jsonl --output_path train/datas

# For ALFWorld
python train/ALFWorld_reformat.py --input_path trajs/KnowAgentALFWorld_llama-2-13b.jsonl --output_path train/datas

For subsequent iterations, it is essential to perform Knowledge-Based Trajectory Filtering and Merging before running the trajectory reformatting script. You can achieve this using traj_merge_and_filter.sh:

python trajs/traj_merge_and_filter.py \
    --task HotpotQA \
    --input_path1  trajs/datas/KnowAgentHotpotQA_llama-2-13b_D0.jsonl \
    --input_path2  trajs/datas/KnowAgentHotpotQA_llama-2-13b_D1.jsonl \
    --output_path   trajs/datas 

Next, initiate the Self-Learning process by running train.sh and train_iter.sh, as specified in the scripts located in Self-Learning/train.sh and Self-Learning/train_iter.sh:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 deepspeed train/train_lora.py \
    --model_name_or_path  llama-2-13b-chat\
