New framework tackles learning Nash equilibria in zero-sum Markov games

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework called Regularized Offline Sequential Equilibrium (ROSE) for learning Nash equilibria in offline two-player zero-sum Markov games. This framework utilizes KL regularization to stabilize learning and ensure convergence, improving upon existing methods that often rely on explicit pessimism. A practical algorithm, Sequential Offline Self-play Mirror Descent (SOS-MD), has also been proposed, which achieves a fast convergence rate and a vanishing optimization error. AI

    Offline Two-Player Zero-Sum Markov Games with KL Regularization

    We study the problem of learning Nash equilibria in offline two-player zero-sum Markov games. While existing approaches often rely on explicit pessimism to address distribution shift, we show that KL regularization alone suffices to stabilize learning and guarantee convergence. W…
