• Abstract: When solving a complex task, humans will spontaneously form teams and to complete different parts of the whole task, respectively. Meanwhile, the cooperation between teammates will improve efficiency. However, for current cooperative MARL methods, the cooperation team is constructed through either heuristics or end-to-end blackbox optimization. In order to improve the efficiency of cooperation and exploration, we propose a structured diversification emergence MARL framework named {\sc{Rochico}} based on reinforced organization control and hierarchical consensus learning. {\sc{Rochico}} first learns an adaptive grouping policy through the organization control module, which is established by independent multi-agent reinforcement learning. Further, the hierarchical consensus module based on the hierarchical intentions with consensus constraint is introduced after team formation. Simultaneously, utilizing the hierarchical consensus module and a self-supervised intrinsic reward enhanced decision module, the proposed cooperative MARL algorithm {\sc{Rochico}} can output the final diversified multi-agent cooperative policy. All three modules are organically combined to promote the structured diversification emergence. Comparative experiments on four large-scale cooperation tasks show that {\sc{Rochico}} is significantly better than the current SOTA algorithms in terms of exploration efficiency and cooperation strength.

  We propose Hierarchical Opponent modeling and Planning (HOP), a novel multi-agent decision-making algorithm. HOP is hierarchically composed of two modules: an opponent modeling module that infers others' goals and learns corresponding goal-conditioned policies. HOP exhibits superior few-shot adaptation capabilities when interacting with various unseen agents, and excels in self-play scenarios.

  We propose Multi-agent Deep Covering Option Discovery, which constructs the multi-agent options through minimizing the expected cover time of the multiple agents' joint state space.

We show that the proposed algorithm can effectively capture the agent interactions with the attention mechanism, successfully identify multi-agent options, and significantly outperforms prior works using single-agent options or no options.
