Automatic Reward Shaping from Multi-Objective Human Heuristics

Yuqing Xie, Jiayu Chen, Wenhao Tang +3

Designing effective reward functions remains a central challenge in reinforcement learning, especially in multi-objective environments. In this work, we propose Multi-Objective Rew…

A Dual Curriculum Learning Framework for Multi-UAV Pursuit-Evasion in Diverse Environments

Jiayu Chen, Guosheng Li, Chao Yu +4

This paper addresses multi-UAV pursuit-evasion, where a group of drones cooperates to capture a fast evader in a confined environment with obstacles. Existing heuristic algorithms,…

MASP: Scalable GNN-based Planning for Multi-Agent Navigation

Xinyi Yang, Xinting Yang, Chao Yu +4

We investigate multi-agent navigation tasks, where multiple agents need to reach initially unassigned goals in a limited time. Classical planning-based methods suffer from expensiv…

Accelerate Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Zero-Sum Games with Subgame Curriculum Learning

Jiayu Chen, Zelai Xu, Yunfei Li +6

Learning Nash equilibrium (NE) in complex zero-sum games with multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) can be extremely computationally expensive. Curriculum learning is an effect…

The Surprising Effectiveness of PPO in Cooperative, Multi-Agent Games

Chao Yu, Akash Velu, Eugene Vinitsky +4

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is a ubiquitous on-policy reinforcement learning algorithm but is significantly less utilized than off-policy learning algorithms in multi-agent…
