Study Notes
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL)
- MARL combines reinforcement learning with fields such as game theory, economics, and multi-agent systems.
Key Concepts
- Nash Equilibrium: A situation where no agent can benefit by changing its strategy while others keep theirs unchanged.
- Pareto Efficiency: An allocation where no agent can be made better off without making another worse off.
- Stochastic Games: Games with probabilistic transitions between states, requiring agents to plan over an uncertain future.
- Extensive-Form Games: Represented by a game tree, showing the sequential nature of decisions and information available at each decision point.
Strategies
- Competitive Strategies: Agents aim to maximize their individual rewards, often at the expense of others (e.g., Chess).
- Cooperative Strategies: Agents work together to achieve a common goal (e.g., Collaborative robotics).
- Mixed Strategies: Agents may exhibit both competitive and cooperative behaviors (e.g., Capture the Flag).
Competitive Behavior
- Competitive Behavior: Strategies where agents aim to outperform each other, often leading to adversarial relationships.
- Examples: bluffing, deception, and counter-strategies.
Cooperative Behavior
- Cooperative Behavior: Strategies where agents coordinate their actions to achieve a common objective.
- Examples: sharing information, planning joint actions, and aligning goals.
Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning
- Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning: Optimizing multiple objectives simultaneously, often requiring trade-offs between competing goals.
- Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR): An algorithm for decision-making in games that minimizes regret by considering counterfactual scenarios.
Deep Counterfactual Regret Minimization (Deep CFR)
- Deep CFR: A variant of CFR that uses deep learning to handle large state and action spaces, enabling more complex decision-making.
Cooperative Behavior
- Centralized Training/Decentralized Execution: Training agents together with shared information but allowing them to act independently during execution.
- Opponent Modeling: Predicting and responding to the actions of other agents to improve strategic decision-making.
- Communication: Developing strategies that enable agents to share information and coordinate their actions effectively.
