Description: # ReComA: A Library for *Re*asoning via *Com*municating *A*gents
        ReComA is a library designed to enable easy development of solutions for reasoning problems via
        communicating agents. It is a generalization of the codebase for
        [Decomposed Prompting](https://github.com/allenai/DecomP). The key features of the library:
        - A general-purpose framework that implements many existing approaches for reasoning
        via mutliple agents --

        - Can be easily extended to use other control flows (e.g.,
          [Self-Ask](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Measuring-and-Narrowing-the-Compositionality-Gap-in-Press-Zhang/53c20f7bf3fabc88e1403e00241eec009cc01ed8),

        - Provides an interactive GUI which includes the entire reasoning trace (with underlying prompts) for easy debugging
        - Built-in Best-First Search to explore multiple reasoning traces
        - Can be used as a pip-installable library in your own codebase
        - Configurable via JSONNET files -- no code change needed for many use cases

        ## Setup
        
        If you want to directly make changes in this library, set it up using conda
        ```shell
          conda create -n recoma python=3.9
          conda activate recoma
          pip install -r requirements.txt
        ```
        
        
        To install it as a dependency in your own conda environment
        ```shell
          pip install -e .
        ```
        
        **OpenAI Setup**
        This library relies on the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable to call GPT3+ models. Make sure
        to set this env. variable
        ```shell
          export OPENAI_API_KEY=<key>
        ```
        
        ## Running ReComA
        The library can be used to solve complex reasoning tasks in two modes:
        
        ### Demo/Interactive Mode
        
        ```shell
         python -m recoma.run_inference \
          --config configs/inference/letter_cat/decomp.jsonnet \
          --output_dir output/letter_cat_decomp/ \
          --gradio_demo
        ```
        This will start an interactive server on http://localhost:7860 for the k<sup>th</sup> letter
        concatenation task. Try the following question (no QID/Context needed):
        
        > Take the letters at position 3 of the words in "Reasoning via Communicating Agents" and concatenate them using a space.
        
        The library will use `text-davinci-002` model with Decomposed Prompting (specified via the input
        config file) to answer this question. You can open the collapsed nodes (indicated with ▶) to see
        the full execution trace (along with the prompts).
        
        ### Batch Inference Mode
        
        To use the library to produce predictions for an input file (e.g. [the 3rd letter concatenation
        dataset with 4 words](https://github.com/allenai/DecomP/blob/main/datasets/letter_cat/n4_eg100_pos2_space.json)):
        ```shell
         python -m recoma.run_inference \
          --config configs/inference/letter_cat/decomp.jsonnet \
          --output_dir output/letter_cat_decomp/ \
          --input datasets/letter_cat/n4_eg100_pos2_space.json
        ```
        
        Running this script will populate the output directory with :
        - `predictions.json`: qid-to-prediction map
        - `all_data.jsonl`: Input examples with model predictions and correctness label (using exact match)
        - `html_dump/`: Dump of the execution traces for all the examples in HTML format
        - `source_config.json`: JSON config used to run this experiment (for future reproducibility)
        
        ## Using ReComA in your work
        
        ### Using existing agents
        If the provided agents are sufficient for your work, you can use this library by just defining the
        configuration files and prompts. See examples in the `configs/` folder.
        
        
        ### Defining a new agent
        If you define a new agent (see the models [README](recoma/models/README.md)), you need to load
        them when running inference. Assuming your agents are defined under the package `my_new_agents_pkg`
        ```shell
        python -m recoma.run_inference \
          --config configs/inference/letter_cat/decomp.jsonnet \
          --output_dir output/letter_cat_decomp/ \
          --input datasets/letter_cat/n4_eg100_pos2_space.json \
          --include_package my_new_agents_pkg
        ```
