Summary

• What is new: Introduction of an Uncertainty-Aware Language Agent (UALA) framework that quantifies uncertainty during interactions with the external world.
• Why this is important: Existing Language Agents don’t account for uncertainty in interactions with the external environment.
• What the research proposes: UALA employs a novel approach to orchestrate agent-world interactions with an emphasis on uncertainty quantification.
• Results: UALA outperforms counterparts like ReAct in tasks such as HotpotQA, StrategyQA, MMLU, with better performance and reduced reliance on external tools.
