Multi-Agent Systems based on Language Models
Date, time and room to be confirmed.
About the course
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed the way humans interact with computational systems. Unlike traditional chatbots based on predefined rules and rigid workflows, LLM-based agents can understand natural language, adapt to context, and generate coherent and flexible responses. These capabilities have enabled applications across domains such as education, healthcare, customer support, marketing, legal services, and human resources. More recently, LLM-based multi-agent systems have emerged as a promising paradigm for addressing complex problems. By coordinating specialized autonomous agents, these architectures can distribute responsibilities, improve scalability, and enhance solution quality. However, they also introduce challenges related to context management, interaction monitoring, and conversational workflow orchestration.
This introductory short course presents the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of building multi-agent systems with LLMs. The program is organized into three parts: (1) Introduction and Foundations, (2) Practical Technical Demonstrations, and (3) Hands-on Exercises and Discussion. No advanced background in Artificial Intelligence or Natural Language Processing is required; only basic Python programming knowledge is expected. Participants will receive complementary learning materials to support content review, practical experimentation, and adaptation of the examples to academic or professional projects.
The course will be delivered in Portuguese, although some frameworks, libraries, and technical documentation used during the demonstrations may be available only in English. The target audience includes undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, and related fields who are interested in developing applications based on LLM-powered agents. The course is limited to 30 participants, with registration through an online application process and participant selection by the organizers.
