Listen "Google DeedMind's Talker-Reasoner Architecture"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores the Talker-Reasoner architecture, a dual-system agent framework inspired by the human cognitive model of "thinking fast and slow." The Talker, analogous to System 1, is fast and intuitive, handling user interaction, perception, and conversational responses. The Reasoner, akin to System 2, is slower and logical, focused on multi-step reasoning, planning, and maintaining beliefs about the user and world.In a sleep coaching case study, the Sleep Coaching Talker Agent interacts with users based on prior knowledge, while the Sleep Coaching Reasoner Agent models user beliefs and plans responses in phases. Their interaction involves the Talker accessing the Reasoner’s belief updates in memory, adjusting responses based on the coaching phase. Future research will explore how the Talker can autonomously determine when to engage the Reasoner and may introduce multiple specialized Reasoners for different reasoning tasks.https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.08328
