• Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of large scale multi agent reinforcement learning. Firstly, we studied the representation problem of the pairwise value function to reduce the complexity of the interactions among agents. Secondly, we adopt a l2-norm trick to ensure the trivial term of the approximated value function is bounded. Thirdly, experimental results on battle game demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  In Multi-objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) agents are tasked with optimising decision-making behaviours. We focus on the case of linear utility functions parameterised by weight vectors w. We introduce a method based on Upper Confidence Bound to efficiently search for the most promising weight vectors during different stages of the learning process.

  Real-world cooperation often requires intensive coordination among agents simultaneously. Traditional methods that learn the value function as a monotonic mixing of per-agent utilities cannot solve the tasks with non-monotonic returns. We propose a novel explicit credit assignment method to address the non-monotonic problem.

  Existing algorithms suffer from the problem of uneven learning degree with the increase of the number of agents. A new structure for a multi-agent actor critic is proposed, and the self-attention mechanism is applied in the critic network. The proposed algorithm makes full use of the samples in the replay memory buffer to learn the behavior of a class of agents.

  MARL exacerbates matters by imposing various constraints on communication and observability. For value-based methods, it poses challenges in accurately representing the optimal value function. For policy gradient methods, it makes training the critic difficult and exacerbates the problem of the lagging critic. We show that from a learning theory perspective, both problems can be addressed by accurately representing the associated action-value function.

  Overestimation in $Q$-learning is an important problem that has been extensively studied in single-agent reinforcement learning.

  We consider a problem known as multi-task learning, consisting of fitting a set of regression functions intended for solving different tasks. In our novel formulation, we couple the parameters of these functions, so that they learn in their task specific domains while staying close to each other. This facilitates cross-fertilization in which data collected across different domains help improving the learning performance at each other task.
