Hierarchical Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Full Text: agents01.pdf PDF

Hierarchical reinforcement learning methods have previously been shown to speed up learning primarily in single-agent domains. In this paper we explore the use of this spatio-temporal abstraction mechanism to speed up a complex multi-agent reinforcement learning task. The focus here is on domains requiring multiple agents to co-operatively learn tasks which require coordination among the agents. We adopt the MAXQ framework of hierarchical learning as it naturally extends to the multi agent.
