Combining LLM, Non-Monotonic Logical Reasoning, and Human-In-the-loop Feedback in an Assistive AI Agent

摘要

Large Language Models (LLMs) are considered state of the art for many tasks in robotics and AI. At the same time, there is increasing evidence of their critical limitations such as generating arbitrary responses in new situations, inability to support rapid incremental updates based on limited examples, and opacity. Toward addressing these limitations, our architecture leverages the complementary strengths of LLMs and knowledge-based reasoning. Specifically, the architecture enables an AI agent assisting a human to use an LLM to provide generic abstract predictions of upcoming tasks. The agent also reasons with domain-specific knowledge, recent history of interactions with the human, and semantic databases to: (a) provide contextual prompts to the LLM; and (b) compute a plan of concrete actions that jointly implements the current task and prepares for the anticipated task, replanning as needed. Furthermore, the agent solicits and uses high-level human feedback based on need and availability to incrementally revise the domain-specific knowledge and interactions with the LLM. We ground and evaluate our architecture’s abilities in the realistic VirtualHome simulation environment, demonstrating a substantial performance improvement compared with just using an LLM or an LLM and logical reasoner.
