- Authors: Reuth Mirsky and Ignacio Carlucho and Arrasy Rahman and Elliot Fosong
and William Macke and Mohan Sridharan and Peter Stone and Stefano V. Albrecht
- Abstract summary: Ad hoc teamwork is the well-established research problem of designing agents that can collaborate with new teammates without prior coordination.
This survey makes a two-fold contribution. First, it provides a structured description of the different facets of the ad hoc teamwork problem.
Second, it discusses the progress that has been made in the field so far, and identifies the immediate and long-term open problems that need to be addressed in the field of ad hoc teamwork.

This study focuses on the ad hoc teamwork problem where the agent operates in an environment driven by natural language.
Our findings reveal the potential of LLM agents in team collaboration, highlighting issues related to hallucinations in communication.
To address this issue, we develop CodeAct, a general agent that equips LLM with enhanced memory and code-driven reasoning.

This paper introduces a formal definition of the setting of ad hoc teamwork under partial observability.
Our results in 70 POMDPs from 11 domains show that our approach is not only effective in assisting unknown teammates in solving unknown tasks but is also robust in scaling to more challenging problems.

Advances in ad hoc teamwork have the potential to create agents that collaborate robustly in real-world applications.
Agents deployed in the real world are vulnerable to adversaries with the intent to subvert them.
We explain the importance of extending ad hoc teamwork to include the presence of adversaries.

We propose the novel few-shot teamwork (FST) problem, where skilled agents trained in a team to complete one task are combined with skilled agents from different tasks, and together must learn to adapt to an unseen but related task.
We discuss how the FST problem can be seen as addressing two separate problems: one of reducing the experience required to train a team of agents to complete a complex task; and one of collaborating with unfamiliar teammates to complete a new task.

We propose CollabQA, a novel QA task in which several expert agents coordinated by a moderator work together to answer questions that cannot be answered with any single agent alone.
We make a synthetic dataset of a large knowledge graph that can be distributed to experts.
We show that the problem can be challenging without introducing prior to the collaboration structure, unless experts are perfect and uniform.

A desirable goal for autonomous agents is to be able to coordinate on the fly with previously unknown teammates.
One of the central challenges in ad hoc teamwork is quickly recognizing the current plans of other agents and planning accordingly.
We present a novel planning algorithm for ad hoc teamwork, determining which query to ask and planning accordingly.

Document-centered assistance, for example, to help an individual quickly review a document, has seen less significant progress.
We present a survey to understand the space of document-centered assistance and the capabilities people expect in this scenario.
We present a set of initial machine learned models that show that (a) we can accurately detect document-centered questions, and (b) we can build reasonably accurate models for answering such questions.
