The field of large language models (LLMs) has made significant strides in performing reasoning tasks by generating chains of thought (COT) through specific prompts. However, there is still a considerable gap between the problem-solving capabilities of LLMs and humans. Current approaches to improving LLMs focus on COT and tool use, neglecting the adoption and application of human cognitive frameworks. Humans employ various cognitive abilities when facing complex reasoning challenges, necessitating interaction with tools, knowledge, and external environment information to accomplish intricate tasks. To address this issue, a novel intelligent framework called OlaGPT has been introduced that simulates certain aspects of human cognition by approximating different cognitive modules such as attention, memory, reasoning, learning, scheduling and decision-making mechanisms. Inspired by the active learning mechanism of humans, OlaGPT proposes a learning unit to record previous mistakes and expert opinions dynamically to strengthen its ability to solve similar problems. The paper outlines common effective reasoning frameworks for human problem-solving and designs COT templates accordingly. A comprehensive decision-making mechanism is also proposed to maximize model accuracy. The efficacy of OlaGPT has been stringently evaluated on multiple reasoning datasets and surpasses state-of-the-art benchmarks with superior performance. The implementation of OlaGPT is available on GitHub for further exploration by researchers in the field. This research presents an innovative approach towards bridging the gap between LLMs' problem-solving capabilities and those of humans by incorporating human-like problem-solving abilities into LLMs through simulation of certain aspects of human cognition such as attentional processes, memory recall strategies or decision making algorithms which are essential components in any successful problem solving process.

Abstract: In most current research, large language models (LLMs) are able to perform reasoning tasks by generating chains of thought through the guidance of specific prompts. However, there still exists a significant discrepancy between their capability in solving complex reasoning problems and that of humans. At present, most approaches focus on chains of thought (COT) and tool use, without considering the adoption and application of human cognitive frameworks. It is well-known that when confronting complex reasoning challenges, humans typically employ various cognitive abilities, and necessitate interaction with all aspects of tools, knowledge, and the external environment information to accomplish intricate tasks. This paper introduces a novel intelligent framework, referred to as OlaGPT. OlaGPT carefully studied a cognitive architecture framework, and propose to simulate certain aspects of human cognition. The framework involves approximating different cognitive modules, including attention, memory, reasoning, learning, and corresponding scheduling and decision-making mechanisms. Inspired by the active learning mechanism of human beings, it proposes a learning unit to record previous mistakes and expert opinions, and dynamically refer to them to strengthen their ability to solve similar problems. The paper also outlines common effective reasoning frameworks for human problem-solving and designs Chain-of-Thought (COT) templates accordingly. A comprehensive decision-making mechanism is also proposed to maximize model accuracy. The efficacy of OlaGPT has been stringently evaluated on multiple reasoning datasets, and the experimental outcomes reveal that OlaGPT surpasses state-of-the-art benchmarks, demonstrating its superior performance. Our implementation of OlaGPT is available on GitHub: \url{https://github.com/oladata-team/OlaGPT}.
