Efficient Heterogeneous Exploration with Mutual Policy Divergence Maximization for Multiagent Reinforcement Learning.

This work introduces a novel MARL framework, Multi-Agent Divergence Policy Optimization (MADPO) with Mutual Policy Divergence Maximization (Mutual PDM), and proposes a new extension of CCS divergence for measuring policy divergence of more than two agents, the Generalized Conditional Cauchy-Schwarz (GCCS) divergence.

Adaptive Exploration and Curriculum Learning for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Multi-agent Reinforcement learning has gained significant attention for solving decision-making problems involving multiple autonomous agents. However, effective learning in MARL is still difficult due to environments, dependencies between agents, and poor exploration strategies. Although adaptive exploration and curri...
