RLupus: Cooperation through emergent communication in The Werewolf social deduction game

This paper focuses on the emergence of communication to support cooperation in environments modeled as social deduction games (SDG), that are where players communicate freely deduce each others’ hidden intentions. We first state problem by giving a general formalization SDG and possible solution framework based reinforcement learning. Next, we focus specific SDG, known The Werewolf, study if how various forms influence outcome game. Experimental results show introducing signal greatly increases winning chances class players. also effect signal’s length range overall performance showing non-linear relationship.
