Malthusian Reinforcement Learning
Joel Z. Leibo, Julien Perolat, Edward Hughes +6
Here we explore a new algorithmic framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning, called Malthusian reinforcement learning, which extends self-play to include fitness-linked popu…
Evolving intrinsic motivations for altruistic behavior
Jane X. Wang, Edward Hughes, Chrisantha Fernando +3
Multi-agent cooperation is an important feature of the natural world. Many tasks involve individual incentives that are misaligned with the common good, yet a wide range of organis…
Bayesian Action Decoder for Deep Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Jakob N. Foerster, Francis Song, Edward Hughes +5
When observing the actions of others, humans make inferences about why they acted as they did, and what this implies about the world; humans also use the fact that their actions wi…
Social Influence as Intrinsic Motivation for Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning
Natasha Jaques, Angeliki Lazaridou, Edward Hughes +5
We propose a unified mechanism for achieving coordination and communication in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), through rewarding agents for having causal influence over…
Learning to Understand Goal Specifications by Modelling Reward
Dzmitry Bahdanau, Felix Hill, Jan Leike +4
Recent work has shown that deep reinforcement-learning agents can learn to follow language-like instructions from infrequent environment rewards. However, this places on environmen…
Inequity aversion improves cooperation in intertemporal social dilemmas
Edward Hughes, Joel Z. Leibo, Matthew G. Phillips +9
Groups of humans are often able to find ways to cooperate with one another in complex, temporally extended social dilemmas. Models based on behavioral economics are only able to ex…
