We consider the multi-agent reinforcement learning setting with imperfect information in which each agent is trying to maximize its own utility. The reward function depends on the hidden state (or goal) of both agents, so the agents must infer the other players hidden goals from their observed behavior in order to solve the tasks. We propose a new approach for learning in these domains: Self Other-Modeling (SOM), in which an agent uses its own policy to predict the other agents actions and update its belief of their hidden state in an online manner. We evaluate this approach on three different tasks and show that the agents are able to learn better policies using their estimate of the other players hidden states, in both cooperative and adversarial settings.

In reinforcement learning, agents learn by performing actions and observing their outcomes. Sometimes, it is desirable for a human operator to textit{interrupt} an agent in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening. Yet, as part of their l
earning process, agents may link these interruptions, that impact their reward, to specific states and deliberately avoid them. The situation is particularly challenging in a multi-agent context because agents might not only learn from their own past interruptions, but also from those of other agents. Orseau and Armstrong defined emph{safe interruptibility} for one learner, but their work does not naturally extend to multi-agent systems. This paper introduces textit{dynamic safe interruptibility}, an alternative definition more suited to decentralized learning problems, and studies this notion in two learning frameworks: textit{joint action learners} and textit{independent learners}. We give realistic sufficient conditions on the learning algorithm to enable dynamic safe interruptibility in the case of joint action learners, yet show that these conditions are not sufficient for independent learners. We show however that if agents can detect interruptions, it is possible to prune the observations to ensure dynamic safe interruptibility even for independent learners.
Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) under partial observability has long been considered challenging, primarily due to the requirement for each agent to maintain a belief over all other agents local histories -- a domain that generally grows ex
ponentially over time. In this work, we investigate a partially observable MARL problem in which agents are cooperative. To enable the development of tractable algorithms, we introduce the concept of an information state embedding that serves to compress agents histories. We quantify how the compression error influences the resulting value functions for decentralized control. Furthermore, we propose an instance of the embedding based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The embedding is then used as an approximate information state, and can be fed into any MARL algorithm. The proposed embed-then-learn pipeline opens the black-box of existing (partially observable) MARL algorithms, allowing us to establish some theoretical guarantees (error bounds of value functions) while still achieving competitive performance with many end-to-end approaches.
Recently, deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have made great progress in multi-agent domain. However, due to characteristics of RL, training for complex tasks would be resource-intensive and time-consuming. To meet this challenge, mutual lea
rning strategy between homogeneous agents is essential, which is under-explored in previous studies, because most existing methods do not consider to use the knowledge of agent models. In this paper, we present an adaptation method of the majority of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms called KnowSR which takes advantage of the differences in learning between agents. We employ the idea of knowledge distillation (KD) to share knowledge among agents to shorten the training phase. To empirically demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of KnowSR, we performed extensive experiments on state-of-the-art MARL algorithms in collaborative and competitive scenarios. The results demonstrate that KnowSR outperforms recently reported methodologies, emphasizing the importance of the proposed knowledge sharing for MARL.
Most of the prior work on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) achieves optimal collaboration by directly controlling the agents to maximize a common reward. In this paper, we aim to address this from a different angle. In particular, we conside
r scenarios where there are self-interested agents (i.e., worker agents) which have their own minds (preferences, intentions, skills, etc.) and can not be dictated to perform tasks they do not wish to do. For achieving optimal coordination among these agents, we train a super agent (i.e., the manager) to manage them by first inferring their minds based on both current and past observations and then initiating contracts to assign suitable tasks to workers and promise to reward them with corresponding bonuses so that they will agree to work together. The objective of the manager is maximizing the overall productivity as well as minimizing payments made to the workers for ad-hoc worker teaming. To train the manager, we propose Mind-aware Multi-agent Management Reinforcement Learning (M^3RL), which consists of agent modeling and policy learning. We have evaluated our approach in two environments, Resource Collection and Crafting, to simulate multi-agent management problems with various task settings and multiple designs for the worker agents. The experimental results have validated the effectiveness of our approach in modeling worker agents minds online, and in achieving optimal ad-hoc teaming with good generalization and fast adaptation.
We present the Battlesnake Challenge, a framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning with Human-In-the-Loop Learning (HILL). It is developed upon Battlesnake, a multiplayer extension of the traditional Snake game in which 2 or more snakes compete
for the final survival. The Battlesnake Challenge consists of an offline module for model training and an online module for live competitions. We develop a simulated game environment for the offline multi-agent model training and identify a set of baseline heuristics that can be instilled to improve learning. Our framework is agent-agnostic and heuristics-agnostic such that researchers can design their own algorithms, train their models, and demonstrate in the online Battlesnake competition. We validate the framework and baseline heuristics with our preliminary experiments. Our results show that agents with the proposed HILL methods consistently outperform agents without HILL. Besides, heuristics of reward manipulation had the best performance in the online competition. We open source our framework at https://github.com/awslabs/sagemaker-battlesnake-ai.
