چکیده

Partially observable stochastic games (POSGs) are an attractive model for many multi-agent domains, but are computationally extremely difficult to solve. We present a new model, Markov games of incomplete information (MGII) which imposes a mild restriction on POSGs while overcoming their primary computational bottleneck. Finally we show how to convert a MGII into a continuous but bounded fully observable stochastic game. MGIIs represents the most general tractable model for multi-agent reinforcement learning to date.

Utilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs

Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...

Multiagent Reinforcement Learning in Stochastic Games

We adopt stochastic games as a general framework for dynamic noncooperative systems. This framework provides a way of describing the dynamic interactions of agents in terms of individuals' Markov decision processes. By studying this framework, we go beyond the common practice in the study of learning in games, which primarily focus on repeated games or extensive-form games. For stochastic games...

Learning in Markov Games with Incomplete Information

The Markov game (also called stochastic game (Filar & Vrieze 1997)) has been adopted as a theoretical framework for multiagent reinforcement learning (Littman 1994). In a Markov game, there are n agents, each facing a Markov decision process (MDP). All agents’ MDPs are correlated through their reward functions and the state transition function. As Markov decision process provides a theoretical ...

Markov Games as a Framework for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

In the Markov decision process (MDP) formalization of reinforcement learning, a single adaptive agent interacts with an environment defined by a probabilistic transition function. In this solipsistic view, secondary agents can only be part of the environment and are therefore fixed in their behavior. The framework of Markov games allows us to widen this view to include multiple adaptive agents ...

Speeding up learning automata based multi agent systems using the concepts of stigmergy and entropy

Learning automata (LA) were recently shown to be valuable tools for designing Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning algorithms and are able to control the stochastic games. In this paper, the concepts of stigmergy and entropy are imported into learning automata based multi-agent systems with the purpose of providing a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems and spe...
