Off-line Learning of Coordination in Functionally Structured Agents for Distributed Data Processing

چکیده
When we design multi-agent systems for realistic, worth-oriented environments, coordination problems they present involve intricate and sophisticated interplay between the domain and the various system components. Achieving effective coordination in such systems is a difficult problem for a number of reasons like local views of problem-solving task and uncertainty about the outcomes of interacting non-local tasks. In this paper, we present a learning algorithm that endows agents with the capability to choose an appropriate coordination algorithm based on the present problem solving situation in the domain of distributed data processing.

Coordinating multi-agent reinforcement learning with limited communication
Coordinated multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) provides a promising approach to scaling learning in large cooperative multiagent systems. Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) techniques have been used to coordinate action selection among agents during both the learning phase and the policy execution phase (if learning is off-line) to ensure good overall system performance. However,...
متن کاملHierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
