Articles about "Autonomous Agents"
Table of Contents
Autonomous agents are computer programs that can operate on their own without needing constant human input. They can perform various tasks, often using information from the internet.
Multimodal Agents
Some autonomous agents can handle different types of information from various sources, such as text, images, and videos. This helps them complete tasks that require more than one type of data.
Multihop Tasks
These agents can work on tasks that need information from multiple websites. This means they can "hop" between different online sources to find the answers they need. However, these multihop tasks can be difficult for agents.
Real-World Application
Researchers create benchmarks to test these agents in realistic settings, like actual websites that people use daily. This helps ensure that the agents are effective in completing tasks similar to what humans would do.
Challenges and Improvements
Despite advancements, autonomous agents often struggle with complex tasks, especially during the initial steps. To help them perform better, some methods involve using past actions to guide their future decisions, making them more efficient.
