🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of conducting automated, scalable, and iterative analysis and forecasting on crime data under strict privacy constraints. To this end, we propose LUCID-MA, an offline multi-agent framework comprising three tightly coordinated components: an Analysis Assistant, a Feedback Optimizer, and a Prediction Module—enabling spatiotemporal pattern mining, iterative result refinement, and trend forecasting—all executed locally without external API calls. Our key contribution is the first AutoGen-style offline multi-agent system tailored for social science research, featuring a scoring-driven self-assessment mechanism and visual learning trajectory tracking to support up to 100 rounds of autonomous, dialog-based learning. Leveraging LLaMA-2-13B-Chat-GPTQ with domain-specific prompt engineering, we empirically validate high-accuracy pattern recognition and forecasting on real-world crime datasets; iterative refinement significantly improves analytical quality while preserving data privacy, model interpretability, and scalability of autonomous analysis.
📝 Abstract
This paper introduces LUCID-MA (Learning and Understanding Crime through Dialogue of Multiple Agents), an innovative AI powered framework where multiple AI agents collaboratively analyze and understand crime data. Our system that consists of three core components: an analysis assistant that highlights spatiotemporal crime patterns, a feedback component that reviews and refines analytical results and a prediction component that forecasts future crime trends. With a well-designed prompt and the LLaMA-2-13B-Chat-GPTQ model, it runs completely offline and allows the agents undergo self-improvement through 100 rounds of communication with less human interaction. A scoring function is incorporated to evaluate agent's performance, providing visual plots to track learning progress. This work demonstrates the potential of AutoGen-style agents for autonomous, scalable, and iterative analysis in social science domains maintaining data privacy through offline execution.
