New algorithms tackle decentralized multi-player reinforcement learning

Researchers have developed new algorithms for decentralized multi-player reinforcement learning in episodic Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with information asymmetry. The proposed methods, mQ-learning, mQ-learning-intervals, mEXC, and mEXC-Bellman, address scenarios with unobserved actions and independent or common rewards. These algorithms achieve competitive regret bounds compared to centralized learning, particularly for a small number of players or limited action sets. AI

IMPACT Introduces novel algorithms that could advance multi-agent reinforcement learning capabilities.

    Decentralized Multi-Player Q-Learning in Episodic Markov Decision Processes with Information Asymmetry

    arXiv:2608.12753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study decentralized multi-player reinforcement learning in episodic tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) under three forms of information asymmetry: (A) unobserved actions with common rewards, (B) observed actions with indepe…
