NeuroMAS: Multi-Agent Systems as Neural Networks with Joint Reinforcement Learning
NeuroMAS introduces a novel approach to multi-agent language systems by treating them as neural networks with joint reinforcement learning. This method allows for scalable and trainable architectures where agents can communicate and specialize without predefined roles. Experimental results indicate that NeuroMAS outperforms traditional multi-agent systems, suggesting a promising direction for enhancing large language models.

We propose NeuroMAS, a method that first treats a multi-agent language system as a trainable and scalable neural-network-like architecture with LLM agents as nodes and intermediate textual signals as edges.
