A Theoretical Framework for Parallel Lifelong MAPF Using Group Decentralized Planning
Alex DeWeese, Jiaoyang Li, Guannan Qu
In the Lifelong Multi-Agent Path Finding (L-MAPF) problem, agents must repeatedly move from one destination to another while avoiding obstacles and inter-agent collisions. Widely r…
Revisiting Policy Gradients for Restricted Policy Classes: Escaping Myopic Local Optima with -step Policy Gradients
Alex DeWeese, Guannan Qu
This work revisits standard policy gradient methods used on restricted policy classes, which are known to get stuck in suboptimal critical points. We identify an important cause fo…
Thinking Beyond Visibility: A Near-Optimal Policy Framework for Locally Interdependent Multi-Agent MDPs
Alex DeWeese, Guannan Qu
Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (Dec-POMDPs) are known to be NEXP-Complete and intractable to solve. However, for problems such as cooperative navigati…
Locally Interdependent Multi-Agent MDP: Theoretical Framework for Decentralized Agents with Dynamic Dependencies
Alex DeWeese, Guannan Qu
Many multi-agent systems in practice are decentralized and have dynamically varying dependencies. There has been a lack of attempts in the literature to analyze these systems theor…
