• Abstract: To understand how people interact with each other in collaborative settings, especially in situations where individuals know little about their teammates, Multiagent Inverse Reinforcement Learning (MIRL) aims to infer the reward functions guiding the behavior of each individual given trajectories of a team's behavior during task performance. Unlike current MIRL approaches, team members \emph{are not} assumed to know each other's goals a priori, rather they collaborate by adapting to the goals of others perceived by observing their behavior, all while jointly performing a task. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach to MIRL via Theory of Mind (MIRL-ToM). For each agent, we first use ToM reasoning to estimate a posterior distribution over baseline reward profiles given their demonstrated behavior. We then perform MIRL via decentralized equilibrium by employing single-agent Maximum Entropy IRL to infer a reward function for each agent, where we simulate the behavior of other teammates according to the time-varying distribution over profiles. We evaluate our approach in a simulated 2-player search-and-rescue operation where the goal of the agents, playing different roles, is to search for and evacuate victims in the environment. Results show that the choice of baseline profiles is paramount to the recovery of ground-truth rewards, and MIRL-ToM is able to recover the rewards used by agents interacting with either known and unknown teammates.

  We propose a self-supervised intrinsic reward ELIGN - expectation alignment. Similar to how animals collaborate in a decentralized manner with those in their vicinity, agents trained with expectation alignment learn behaviors that match their neighbors' expectations. We show that agent coordination improves through expectation alignment because agents learn to divide tasks amongst themselves, break coordination symmetries, and confuse adversaries.

We propose a new unsupervised RL technique based on an adversarial game which pits two policies against each other to compete over the amount of surprise an RL agent experiences. We show that our method leads to the emergence of complex skills by exhibiting clear phase transitions.

  This paper investigates the problem of age of information (AoI) aware radio resource management for a platooning system. Multiple autonomous platoons exploit the cellular wireless vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication technology to disseminate the cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) to their followers. We exploit a distributed resource allocation framework based on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), where each platoon leader (PL) acts as an agent and interacts with the environment to learn its optimal policy.
