Abstract: Agent-based models (ABMs) are a promising approach to modelling and reasoning about complex systems, yet their application in practice is impeded by their complexity, discrete nature, and the difficulty of performing parameter inference and optimisation tasks. This in turn has sparked interest in the construction of differentiable ABMs as a strategy for combatting these difficulties, yet a number of challenges remain. In this paper, we discuss and present experiments that highlight some of these challenges, along with potential solutions.

We introduce BloomWise, a new prompting technique, inspired by Bloom's taxonomy, to improve the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) The decision regarding the need to employ more sophisticated cognitive skills is based on self-evaluation performed by the LLM. In extensive experiments across 4 popular math reasoning datasets, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Solving for X and Beyond: Can Large Language Models Solve Complex Math Problems with More-Than-Two Unknowns? [57.80779199039929]
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in solving math problems. This paper introduces a novel benchmark, BeyondX, designed to address these limitations by incorporating problems with multiple unknowns. Empirical study on BeyondX reveals that the performance of existing LLMs, even those fine-tuned specifically on math tasks, significantly decreases as the number of unknowns increases.

Robustness Assessment of Mathematical Reasoning in the Presence of Missing and Contradictory Conditions [48.251724997889184]
We develop a benchmark called Problems with Missing and Contradictory conditions (PMC) We introduce two novel metrics to evaluate the performance of few-shot prompting methods in these scenarios. We propose a novel few-shot prompting method called SMT-LIB Prompting (SLP), which utilizes the SMT-LIB language to model the problems instead of solving them directly.

We develop a ReAct-style LLM agent with the ability to reason and act upon external knowledge. We refine the agent through a ReST-like method that iteratively trains on previous trajectories. Starting from a prompted large model and after just two iterations of the algorithm, we can produce a fine-tuned small model.

Diversifying the Mixture-of-Experts Representation for Language Models with Orthogonal Optimizer [59.43462055143123]
The Mixture of Experts (MoE) has emerged as a highly successful technique in deep learning. In this study, we shed light on the homogeneous representation problem, wherein experts in the MoE fail to specialize and lack diversity. We propose an alternating training strategy that encourages each expert to update in a direction to the subspace spanned by other experts.
