Phase 4: Tool Selection Optimization - Implementation Summary

🎯 Objective

Implement intelligent tool selection optimization to address critical GAIA evaluation issues where inappropriate tool selection led to incorrect answers (e.g., "468" for bird species questions).

✅ Implementation Complete

1. Enhanced Question Classifier (utils/enhanced_question_classifier.py)

• 7 detailed question categories vs. previous 3 basic types
• Sophisticated pattern detection for problematic question types
• Multimodal content detection for images, audio, video
• Sub-category mapping with proper classification hierarchy

Key Classifications:

• FACTUAL_COUNTING - Bird species, country counts, etc.
• MATHEMATICAL - Arithmetic, exponentiation, unit conversion
• RESEARCH - Artist discography, historical facts
• MULTIMODAL - Images, videos, audio content
• COMPUTATIONAL - Complex calculations, data analysis
• TEMPORAL - Date/time related questions
• GENERAL - Fallback category

2. Tool Selector (utils/tool_selector.py)

• Optimization rules for critical evaluation scenarios
• Performance tracking with adaptive success rates
• Confidence calculation based on tool performance
• Fallback strategies for failed optimizations

Critical Optimization Rules:

• bird_species_counting → Wikipedia (not Calculator)
• exponentiation_math → Python (not Calculator)
• artist_discography → EXA search (specific parameters)
• basic_arithmetic → Calculator (appropriate use)
• youtube_content → YouTube tool (video transcription)
• factual_counting → Authoritative sources (Wikipedia/EXA)
• unit_conversion → Calculator (mathematical conversion)

3. Agent Integration (fixed_enhanced_unified_agno_agent.py)

• Seamless integration with existing GAIA agent
• Tool optimization application before execution
• Performance monitoring and adaptation
• Backward compatibility maintained
