A new paper analyzes the trade-offs between joint and modular training for multi-agent reinforcement learning in job-shop scheduling with transportation resources. The research quantifies the "coordination gap" between these methods, finding that joint training can outperform modular approaches. However, the advantage of joint training decreases in bottleneck environments, suggesting modular training is a viable alternative when one scheduling task is dominant. AI
