A Hybrid Multi-Agent Prompting Approach for Simplifying Complex Sentences

--This paper addresses the challenge of transforming complex sentences into sequences of logical, simplified sentences while preserving semantic and logical integrity with the help of Large Language Models. We propose a hybrid approach that combines advanced prompting with multi-agent architectures to enhance the sentence simplification process. Experimental results show that our approach was able to successfully simplify 70% of the complex sentences written for video game design application. In comparison, a single-agent approach attained a 48% success rate on the same task. Sentence simplification is a challenging task in computational linguistics. The simplification process aims to transform complex sentences into simpler structures while preserving the original meaning. Effective sentence simplification has significant applications across numerous domains like education, content accessibility for individuals with cognitive disabilities, automated content creation, robotics, coding, legal documents, etc. Traditional approaches to sentence simplification have relied on rule-based systems, statistical methods, and more recently neural network architectures [1]. Complex sentences present significant challenges in action-oriented contexts, particularly when attempting to derive executable/actionable functionalities such as robotics, legal documents, and video games.
