Autonomous Driving Systems (ADSs) are revolutionizing transportation by reducing human intervention, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing safety. Large Language Models (LLMs), known for their exceptional planning and reasoning capabilities, have been integrated into ADSs to assist with driving decision-making. However, LLM-based single-agent ADSs face three major challenges: limited perception, insufficient collaboration, and high computational demands. To address these issues, recent advancements in LLM-based multi-agent ADSs have focused on improving inter-agent communication and cooperation. This paper provides a frontier survey of LLM-based multi-agent ADSs. We begin with a background introduction to related concepts, followed by a categorization of existing LLM-based approaches based on different agent interaction modes. We then discuss agent-human interactions in scenarios where LLM-based agents engage with humans. Finally, we summarize key applications, datasets, and challenges in this field to support future research (https://github.com/Yaozuwu/LLM-based_Multi-agent_ADS).

Active Learning for Abstractive Text Summarization via LLM-Determined Curriculum and Certainty Gain Maximization

For abstractive text summarization, laborious data annotation and time-consuming model training become two high walls, hindering its further progress. Active Learning, selecting a few informative instances for annotation and model training, sheds light on solving these issues. However, only few active learning-based studies focus on abstractive text summarization and suffer from low stability, effectiveness, and efficiency. To solve the problems, we propose a novel LLM-determined curriculum active learning framework. Firstly, we design a prompt to ask large language models to rate the difficulty of instances, which guides the model to train on from easier to harder instances. Secondly, we design a novel active learning strategy, i.e., Certainty Gain Maximization, enabling to select instances whose distribution aligns well with the overall distribution. Experiments show our method can improve stability, effectiveness, and efficiency of abstractive text summarization backbones.
