Agent Chat with Multimodal Models: GPT-4V¶

Before everything starts, install AutoGen with the `lmm` option¶

pip install "pyautogen[lmm]>=0.2.3"

Application 1: Image Chat¶

In this section, we present a straightforward dual-agent architecture to enable user to chat with a multimodal agent.

First, we show this image and ask a question.

Within the user proxy agent, we can decide to activate the human input mode or not (for here, we use human_input_mode="NEVER" for conciseness). This allows you to interact with LMM in a multi-round dialogue, enabling you to provide feedback as the conversation unfolds.

In [2]:

config_list_4v = autogen.config_list_from_json(
    "OAI_CONFIG_LIST",
    filter_dict={

)

User_proxy (to image-explainer):

Among the breeds, which one barks less?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>>>>>> USING AUTO REPLY...
image-explainer (to User_proxy):

The dog in the image is a Siberian Husky. Siberian Huskies are known for their striking appearance, which includes a thick double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings.

Between the Goldendoodle and the Siberian Husky, Huskies are generally known to be less prone to barking. They are more likely to howl or vocalize in other ways. Goldendoodles, being a mix of Golden Retrievers and Poodles, can vary in their tendency to bark depending on which traits they inherit from their parent breeds. Golden Retrievers are often quite vocal, while Poodles can be alert barkers. However, every dog is an individual, and their environment and training can significantly influence their barking behavior.

Application 2: Figure Creator¶

Here, we define a FigureCreator agent, which contains three child agents: commander, coder, and critics.

Commander: interacts with users, runs code, and coordinates the flow between the coder and critics.
Coder: writes code for visualization.
Critics: LMM-based agent that provides comments and feedback on the generated image.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coder (to Commander):

First, we will download the CSV file, then we will parse it using pandas, a popular data analysis library in Python. After that, we will plot the data using matplotlib.

This is how we could do this:

```python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Step 1: Load the Data
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/main/docs/data/seattle-weather.csv"
data = pd.read_csv(url)

# Step 2: Parse the date to datetime format
data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(data['date'])

# Step 3: Plot the Data
plt.figure(figsize=(10,6))
plt.plot(data['date'], data['temp_max'], label='Temp Max')
plt.plot(data['date'], data['temp_min'], label='Temp Min')

plt.title('Seattle Weather')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Temperature (F)')
plt.legend()
plt.grid()

# Save the figure
plt.savefig('result.jpg')

# Display the plot
plt.show()
```

When you run this code, it will load the data from the given URL, parse the 'date' column to datetime format, then plot the "temp_max" and "temp_min" over time. The resulting plot is then shown to you. The plot will automatically be saved as 'result.jpg' in the current directory. I will also submit these instructions to other agents.

exitcode: 0 (execution succeeded)

Coder (to Commander):

Great! The code has successfully executed and the plot was generated and saved as `result.jpg`. 

If you check the working directory, you should find the figure saved as `result.jpg`.

To improve the provided figure of Seattle Weather, here are a few suggestions:

1. Data Overlap: There is a significant overlap between the Temp Max (in blue) and Temp Min (in orange) data series, which can make it difficult to follow individual series, especially in cases where Min and Max temperatures are close. This can be improved by either using a line plot with less opacity, applying smoothing to the data lines, or by representing one of the data series in a different manner, such as with a filled area chart underneath the line plot.

2. Labeling: While the axes are labeled, it may be useful to provide units of measurement on the Y-axis label, to clarify that the temperatures are in Fahrenheit. Additionally, including a more descriptive title can help provide context.

3. Grid Lines: The grid lines are helpful for reading the plot, but they could be made lighter or dashed so that they do not compete visually with the data.

4. Date Format: The date format on the X-axis is quite compacted, which may make it difficult to read. Modifying the date formatting to show less frequent ticks, or rotating the labels to improve readability, could be beneficial.

5. Color Scheme: The choice of colors should have sufficient contrast and be colorblind-friendly. Using two distinctively different hues or one line with markers can make it easier to distinguish between the two temperature readings.

6. Legend Positioning: The legend is well-placed and doesn't overlap with the

Coder (to Commander):

Thank you for your feedback. I'll implement the changes you requested. Here is the improved version of the code for plotting:

```python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.dates as mdates

# Load the data
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/main/docs/data/seattle-weather.csv"
data = pd.read_csv(url)

# Parse the date
data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(data['date'])

# Create the plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10,6))

# Plot Temp Max with a smooth blue line
ax.plot(data['date'], data['temp_max'], color='tab:blue', alpha=0.6, label='Temp Max')

# Plot Temp Min with a smooth orange line
ax.plot(data['date'], data['temp_min'], color='tab:orange', alpha=0.6, label='Temp Min')

# Improve date formatting
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(mdates.MonthLocator(interval=3))
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter('%b %Y'))
plt.gcf().autofmt_xdate() # rotation of the x-axis dates

# Add grid lines with styled properties, alpha for transparency
plt.grid(color='gray', linestyle='dashed', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.3)

# Add labels and title
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Temperature (°F)')
plt.title('Seattle Weather: Max and Min Temperatures Over Time')

# Set legend and it's position
plt.legend(loc='upper right')

# Save the figure
plt.savefig('result.jpg')

# Show the plot
plt.show()
```

This script includes all of your feedback: it adjusts the opacity of the lines to distinguish between them, it includes units on the y-axis, modifies grid lines appearance, improves date formatting and adjusts the title to be more descriptive, changes color scheme, and positions the legend in a non-obstructive location. This code again saves the plot image as `result.jpg` in the current directory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coder (to Commander):

I would appreciate more specific feedback on the figure, however, assuming the context, we could improve the figures as follows:

1. Increase line width for better visibility.
2. Separate out data into two subplots - one for each temperature series to avoid data overlap.
3. Utilize a dark theme for a more modern look.
4. Implement more interactive elements, like hover tooltips (would require shifting from matplotlib to an interactive library like bokeh or plotly).

Please note, that adding interactive elements to a .jpg file is not possible. 

Here is the Python code block reflecting first three improvements:

Python:
```python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.dates as mdates

# Load Data
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/main/docs/data/seattle-weather.csv"
data = pd.read_csv(url)
data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(data['date'])

# Dark Background
plt.style.use('dark_background')

# Subplots
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2,1, sharex=True, figsize=(10,6))

# Temp Max
ax1.plot(data['date'], data['temp_max'], color='tab:red', linewidth=2, label='Temp Max')
ax1.set_ylabel('Temp Max (°F)')
ax1.legend(loc='upper right')
ax1.grid(color='gray', linestyle='dashed', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.3)

# Temp Min
ax2.plot(data['date'], data['temp_min'], color='tab:blue', linewidth=2, label='Temp Min')
ax2.set_ylabel('Temp Min (°F)')
ax2.legend(loc='upper right')
ax2.grid(color='gray', linestyle='dashed', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.3)

# Improve date formatting (shared X-axis)
ax2.xaxis.set_major_locator(mdates.YearLocator())
ax2.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter('%Y'))
fig.autofmt_xdate()

# Title
plt.suptitle('Seattle Weather: Max and Min Temperatures Over Time')

# Save as 'result.jpg'
plt.savefig('result.jpg')
plt.show()
```

This code block first downloads the dataset, sets the dark background, creates two subplots, and plots the temp_max and temp_min in separate subplots. Lastly, it saves the output figure as 'result.jpg'. Please run this code and check the resulting figure.
