Researchers have developed the Consensus Multi-Agent Transformer (CMAT), a novel framework designed to bridge cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with hierarchical single-agent reinforcement learning (SARL). CMAT processes large joint observation spaces using a Transformer encoder and addresses extensive joint action spaces through a hierarchical decision-making mechanism. This mechanism autoregressively generates a high-level consensus vector, enabling agents to reach agreement on strategies in latent space and simultaneously generate order-independent actions. Experiments on StarCraft II, Multi-Agent MuJoCo, and Google Research Football demonstrate CMAT's superior performance compared to existing centralized and sequential MARL methods. AI
