Multiagent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm by Dynamically Merging Markov Decision Processes

Full Text: ghavamzadeh02multiagent.pdf PDF

One general strategy for accelerating the learning of cooperative multiagent tasks is to reuse (good or optimal) solutions to the task when each agent is acting alone. In this paper, we formalize this approach as dynamically merging solutions to multiple Markov decision processes (MDPs), each representing an individual agent's solution when acting alone, to obtain (good or optimal) solutions to the overall multiagent MDP when all the agents act together. We present a new temporal-difference.
