• Abstract summary: We propose an opposite behavior aware framework for policy learning in goal-oriented dialogues. We estimate the opposite agent's policy from its behavior and use this estimation to improve the target agent by regarding it as part of the target policy.

• Abstract: Most existing approaches for goal-oriented dialogue policy learning used reinforcement learning, which focuses on the target agent policy and simply treat the opposite agent policy as part of the environment. While in real-world scenarios, the behavior of an opposite agent often exhibits certain patterns or underlies hidden policies, which can be inferred and utilized by the target agent to facilitate its own decision making. This strategy is common in human mental simulation by first imaging a specific action and the probable results before really acting it. We therefore propose an opposite behavior aware framework for policy learning in goal-oriented dialogues. We estimate the opposite agent's policy from its behavior and use this estimation to improve the target agent by regarding it as part of the target policy. We evaluate our model on both cooperative and competitive dialogue tasks, showing superior performance over state-of-the-art baselines.

  We introduce a conceptual extension for model-based policy search methods, called variable objective policy (VOP) We demonstrate that by altering the objectives passed as input to the policy, users gain the freedom to adjust its behavior or re-balance optimization targets at runtime.

• Imitating Opponent to Win: Adversarial Policy Imitation Learning in Two-player Competitive Games [0.0]
  adversarial policies adopted by an adversary agent can influence a target RL agent to perform poorly in a multi-agent environment. In existing studies, adversarial policies are directly trained based on experiences of interacting with the victim agent. We design a new effective adversarial policy learning algorithm that overcomes this shortcoming.

  We propose a principled framework for considering the limiting policies of other agents as the time approaches infinity. Specifically, we develop a new optimization objective that maximizes each agent's average reward by directly accounting for the impact of its behavior on the limiting set of policies that other agents will take on. Thanks to our farsighted evaluation, we demonstrate better long-term performance than state-of-the-art baselines in various domains.

• Contrastive Explanations for Comparing Preferences of Reinforcement Learning Agents [16.605295052893986]
  In complex tasks where the reward function is not straightforward, multiple reinforcement learning (RL) policies can be trained by adjusting the impact of individual objectives on reward function. In this work we compare behavior of two policies trained on the same task, but with different preferences in objectives. We propose a method for distinguishing between differences in behavior that stem from different abilities from those that are a consequence of opposing preferences of two RL agents.

  Off-policy evaluation (OPE) leverages data generated by other policies to evaluate a target policy. We propose supervised off-policy ranking that learns a policy scoring model by correctly ranking training policies with known performance. Our method outperforms strong baseline OPE methods in terms of both rank correlation and performance gap between the truly best and the best of the ranked top three policies.

  In multi-agent reinforcement learning, the inherent non-stationarity of the environment caused by other agents' actions posed significant difficulties for an agent to learn a good policy independently. We propose a general method to learn representations of other agents' policies via the joint-action distributions sampled in interactions. We empirically demonstrate that our method outperforms existing work in multi-agent tasks when facing unseen agents.
