Disentangling Topology and Diversity in Multi-Agent LLMs for Multilingual Low-Resource Emotion Detection

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.14570v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems combine multiple inference calls, but prior work often confounds how calls are connected with how they are diversified. We study these factors independently: inference topology and source of inter-agent diversity. In a controlled $2 \times 3$ matrix, we cross parallel aggregation and sequential refinement with stochastic sampling, role prompting, and learned QLoRA specialization, under a fixed three-call budget and output protocol within each backbone. Using Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, we evaluate all six configurations on multilingual low-resource emotion detection across nine languages. Parallel learned specialization is strongest on Qwen at 52.83 Macro-F1 and reaches 52.94 on Llama. On Qwen it
