Learning with Whom to Communicate Using Relational Reinforcement Learning

چکیده
Relational reinforcement learning is a promising direction within reinforcement learning research. It upgrades reinforcement learning techniques by using relational representations for states, actions, and learned value-functions or policies to allow natural representations and abstractions of complex tasks. Multiagent systems are characterized by their relational structure and present a good example of a complex task. In this paper, we show how relational reinforcement learning could be a useful tool for learning in multi-agent systems. We study this approach in more detail on one important aspect of multi-agent systems, i.e., on learning a communication policy for cooperative systems (e.g., resource distribution). Communication between agents in realistic multi-agent systems can be assumed costly, limited and unreliable. We perform a number of experiments that highlight the conditions in which relational representations can be beneficial when taking the constraints mentioned above into account.

متن کاملOnline Learning and Exploiting Relational Models in Reinforcement Learning
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using rich representations such as relational languages for reinforcement learning. However, while expressive languages have many advantages in terms of generalization and reasoning, extending existing approaches to such a relational setting is a non-trivial problem. In this paper, we present a first step towards the online learning and expl...
