ABSTRACT

Large language models (LLMs) have significantly transformed the landscape of artificial intelligence by demonstrating their ability in generating human-like text across diverse topics. However, despite their impressive capabilities, LLMs lack recent information and often employ imprecise language, which can be detrimental in domains where accuracy is crucial, such as climate change. In this study, we make use of recent ideas to harness the potential of LLMs by viewing them as agents that access multiple sources, including databases containing recent and precise information about organizations, institutions, and companies. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through a prototype agent that retrieves emission data from ClimateWatch (https://www.climatewatchdata.org/) and leverages general Google search. By integrating these resources with LLMs, our approach overcomes the limitations associated with imprecise language and delivers more reliable and accurate information in the critical domain of climate change. This work paves the way for future advancements in LLMs and their application in domains where precision is of paramount importance.

研究动机与目标

  • 在气候领域中需要最新、精确的信息,以避免不确定性影响决策的动机与必要性。
  • 提出一个可以访问训练数据以外的多数据源的LLM代理框架,聚焦于气候数据的可靠性。
  • 展示将结构化气候数据库与网络搜索结合,可以产生更准确的排放数据。

提出的方法

  • 使用 LangChain 和 ReAct 框架构建 LLM 代理。
  • 使用两种工具:ClimateWatch(pandas DataFrame 访问)和一个 Google 搜索代理(google-seper)。
  • 提供一个结构化输入提示,指导代理优先使用 ClimateWatch,并在需要时才使用网页搜索。
  • 展示通过 Python/Pandas 在 ClimateWatch 工具中进行数据检索和处理,以提取排放数据。
  • 进行两组示例实验:一组仅使用单一数据源(ClimateWatch),另一组将 ClimateWatch 与 Google 搜索结合。
