An Agentic LLM refers to a large language model (LLM) that autonomously takes actions, like generating Python code or orchestrating other AI tasks, based on its understanding of user-defined tasks. The Agentic LLM works within a vision-LLM framework, using reinforcement learning to create solutions for custom computer vision tasks, leveraging APIs, existing AI models, and training on minimal data.

NEC Labs America Attends the 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence #AAAI25

Our NEC Lab America team attended the Thirty-Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-25), in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from February 25 to March 4, 2025. The purpose of the AAAI conference series was to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. Our team presented technical papers, led special tracks, delivered talks on key topics, participated in workshops, conducted tutorials, and showcased research in poster sessions. The team greeted visitors at Booth #208 and was there Thursday through Saturday.

Foundational Vision-LLM for AI Linkage and Orchestration

We propose a vision-LLM framework for automating development and deployment of computer vision solutions for pre-defined or custom-defined tasks. A foundational layer is proposed with a code-LLM AI orchestrator self-trained with reinforcement learning to create Python code based on its understanding of a novel user-defined task, together with APIs, documentation and usage notes of existing task-specific AI models. Zero-shot abilities in specific domains are obtained through foundational vision-language models trained at a low compute expense leveraging existing computer vision models and datasets. An engine layer is proposed which comprises of several task-specific vision-language engines which can be compositionally utilized. An application-specific layer is proposed to improve performance in customer-specific scenarios, using novel LLM-guided data augmentation and question decomposition, besides standard fine-tuning tools. We demonstrate a range of applications including visual AI assistance, visual conversation, law enforcement, mobility, medical image reasoning and remote sensing.
