New AI agent R3D2 tackles multi-agent Hanabi with text-based learning

A research paper introduces Recurrent Replay Relevance Distributed DQN (R3D2), a novel agent designed for the Hanabi benchmark game. This agent aims to overcome limitations in traditional multi-agent reinforcement learning systems by enabling cooperation with unfamiliar collaborators and adapting to various game settings. R3D2 reformulates the task using text and employs a distributed multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm to handle dynamic observation and action spaces, allowing it to play all game settings concurrently and transfer learned strategies to new ones. AI

IMPACT This research could advance multi-agent reinforcement learning by enabling more adaptable and cooperative AI agents in complex environments.

    A Generalist Hanabi Agent

    arXiv:2503.14555v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) systems can develop cooperative strategies through repeated interactions. However, these systems are unable to perform well on any other setting than the one they have …
