• Abstract: In this paper we investigate the notion of legibility in sequential decision-making in the context of teams and teamwork. There have been works that extend the notion of legibility to sequential decision making, for deterministic and for stochastic scenarios. However, these works focus on one agent interacting with one human, foregoing the benefits of having legible decision making in teams of agents or in team configurations with humans. In this work we propose an extension of legible decision-making to multi-agent settings that improves the performance of agents working in collaboration. We showcase the performance of legible decision making in team scenarios using our proposed extension in multi-agent benchmark scenarios. We show that a team with a legible agent is able to outperform a team composed solely of agents with standard optimal behaviour.

  We propose a manager which learns, through a standard Reinforcement Learning scheme, how to best delegate. We demonstrate the optimality of our manager's performance in several grid environments. Our results show our manager can successfully learn desirable delegations which result in team paths near/exactly optimal.

  This paper presents the first adaptive agent for playing Codenames. We adopt an ensemble approach with the goal of determining, during the course of interacting with a specific teammate, which of our internal expert agents is the best match. Experimental analysis shows that this ensemble approach adapts to individual teammates and often performs nearly as well as the best internal expert with a teammate.

  We propose AgentCF for simulating user-item interactions in recommender systems through agent-based collaborative filtering. We creatively consider not only users but also items as agents, and develop a collaborative learning approach that optimize both kinds of agents together. Overall, the optimized agents exhibit diverse interaction behaviors within our framework, including user-item, user-user, item-item, and collective interactions.

  We propose automatically selecting a team of agents from candidates to collaborate in a dynamic communication structure toward different tasks and domains. Specifically, we build a framework named Dynamic LLM-Powered Agent Network ($textDyLAN$) for LLM-powered agent collaboration. We demonstrate that DyLAN outperforms strong baselines in code generation, decision-making, general reasoning, and arithmetic reasoning tasks with moderate computational cost.

Our results show our manager learns to perform delegation decisions with teams of agents operating under differing representations of the environment.

Also, we propose a novel framework to adopt the multi-agent options in the MARL process. 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.
