BDI Agents in Natural Language Environments. Ichida, A. Y., Meneguzzi, F., & Cardoso, R. C. In Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, of AAMAS '24, pages 880–888, Richland, SC, 2024. International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. Paper abstract bibtex 16 downloads Developing autonomous agents to deal with real-world problems is challenging, especially when developers are not necessarily specialists in artificial intelligence. This poses two key challenges regarding the interface of the programming with the developer, and the efficiency of the resulting agents. In this paper we tackle both challenges in an efficient agent architecture that leverages recent developments in natural language processing, and the intuitive folk psychology abstraction of the beliefs, desires, intentions (BDI) architecture. The resulting architecture uses existing reinforcement learning techniques to bootstrap the agent's reasoning capabilities while allowing a developer to instruct the agent more directly using natural language as its programming interface. We empirically show the efficiency gains of natural language plans over a pure machine learning approach in the ScienceWorld environment.
