Topic: Automating parameter tuning in ptychography (a computational imaging technique) using multi-agent systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs).

Key points for LLM-based multi-agent systems:
- Domain-specific knowledge base: Crucial for accurate and relevant results. PEAR decouples workflow from knowledge, allowing independent updates and customization.
- Human-in-the-loop (HITL): Essential for quality control, providing context, validation, and feedback to refine the system, particularly in complex tasks like scientific analysis.
- Multi-agent approach: Improves reliability and accuracy by dividing tasks among specialized agents instead of relying on a single agent.
- Flexible automation levels: Caters to various user expertise levels (from manual to AI-assisted to fully automated) and supports diverse needs.
- Potential for future LLM training: User interaction logs within the system can be used as valuable, real-world training data for developing more advanced LLMs.
