چکیده

In this paper we present the MAP language for expressing knowledge transfer and action restriction between agents in multiagent systems. Our approach is founded on the definition of patterns of dialogues between groups of agents, expressed as protocols. Our protocols are flexible and directly executable. Furthermore, our language allow us to specify the connection between communication and knowledge transfer in a way that is independent of the specific reasoning techniques used.

Hierarchical 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...

Transfer Learning Method Using Ontology for Heterogeneous Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

This paper presents a framework, called the knowledge co-creation framework (KCF), for heterogeneous multiagent robot systems that use a transfer learning method. A multiagent robot system (MARS) that utilizes reinforcement learning and a transfer learning method has recently been studied in realworld situations. In MARS, autonomous agents obtain behavior autonomously through multi-agent reinfo...

A Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem

Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...

Transfer Learning for Multiagent Reinforcement Learning Systems

Reinforcement learning methods have successfully been applied to build autonomous agents that solve many sequential decision making problems. However, agents need a long time to learn a suitable policy, specially when multiple autonomous agents are in the environment. This research aims to propose a Transfer Learning (TL) framework to accelerate learning by exploiting two knowledge sources: (i)...
