Rapid Development of Compositional AI
This addresses the problem of slow and non-reusable development for engineers and researchers working on compositional AI applications, though it appears incremental as it provides a new framework rather than a fundamental breakthrough.
The paper tackles the lack of structured development patterns for compositional AI systems, which are often built ad hoc, by introducing the (Bee)* framework to enable rapid, scalable, and interactive application development with a simplified developer experience.
Compositional AI systems, which combine multiple artificial intelligence components together with other application components to solve a larger problem, have no known pattern of development and are often approached in a bespoke and ad hoc style. This makes development slower and harder to reuse for future applications. To support the full rapid development cycle of compositional AI applications, we have developed a novel framework called (Bee)* (written as a regular expression and pronounced as "beestar"). We illustrate how (Bee)* supports building integrated, scalable, and interactive compositional AI applications with a simplified developer experience.
