A Multi-Agent LLM System for Automated Tuning of Specialized Neural Network Models

Abstract

Many machine learning approaches are two-level: an expert selects a class of methods, within this class the choice of key components is critical and usually manual. This paper addresses the automatic tuning of these components and proposes a framework transferable across models of different nature. The multi-agent large language model (LLM) framework has three roles---analyst, coder, and recorder~---with an experiment log and a sandboxed execution environment. Unlike systems that optimize the entire ML script or search architectures in a discrete space, the framework operates over an open but semantically narrow space: the agent generates code only for the specified components, leaving the overall network structure unchanged. The approach is validated in two directions: tuning a classification spiking neural network with correlation learning, and solving high-order differential equations with Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN). Across five tasks---spiking classification on MNIST and Digits, and boundary-value problems for the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLSE) and Kuramoto--Sivashinsky (KS) equations---the agent outperforms the baselines: classification accuracy is 13 percentage points (MNIST) and 6 percentage points (Digits) higher; the error against the analytical single-soliton solution is reduced approximately 2491-fold; the invariant-preservation error drops approximately 325-fold in the selected GNLSE run with a Gaussian perturbation and by more than 100-fold on average over repeated initializations; and the mass drift drops 14-fold for the KS problem with a Gaussian perturbation. The framework thus tunes key components on tasks of different nature without changing its internal structure.
