Self-Evolving Agentic Workflows via Semantic Decomposition of Complex Tasks

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces a framework for self‑evolving agentic workflows that decompose complex tasks semantically. Each subtask is defined with explicit applicability conditions and a procedure that may execute code or call a language model. The agent refines the decomposition and procedures using execution feedback, and the approach is demonstrated on bargaining, negotiation, and persuasion tasks in the GLEE competition, with most final‑decision procedures implemented in code.

It Takes Workflows to Evolve Better Workflows

The paper "It Takes Workflows to Evolve Better Workflows" introduces FloWright, a method that uses a hierarchical, structure‑aware reward system to allow one or more roles in a multi‑agent workflow to self‑evolve without extra models or data. It also proposes DataWright, an adaptive data hardening technique that transforms existing datasets into more challenging workflow‑level tasks. Experiments on document, slide, chart, code, math, and finance tasks show that small open models trained with FloWright can improve performance by up to +7.41%, with co‑evolving multiple roles yielding the largest gains. "whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates that optimizing beyond the workflow generator—by enabling multiple agents to co‑evolve—can substantially enhance the effectiveness of multi‑agent workflows for complex real‑world tasks."
