JaxMARL: Multi-Agent RL Environments and Algorithms in JAX
Alexander Rutherford, Benjamin Ellis, Matteo Gallici +18
Benchmarks are crucial in the development of machine learning algorithms, with available environments significantly influencing reinforcement learning (RL) research. Traditionally,…
Discovering General Reinforcement Learning Algorithms with Adversarial Environment Design
Matthew Thomas Jackson, Minqi Jiang, Jack Parker-Holder +5
The past decade has seen vast progress in deep reinforcement learning (RL) on the back of algorithms manually designed by human researchers. Recently, it has been shown that it is…
Hierarchical Imitation Learning for Stochastic Environments
Maximilian Igl, Punit Shah, Paul Mougin +5
Many applications of imitation learning require the agent to generate the full distribution of behaviour observed in the training data. For example, to evaluate the safety of auton…
Recurrent Hypernetworks are Surprisingly Strong in Meta-RL
Jacob Beck, Risto Vuorio, Zheng Xiong +1
Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is notoriously impractical to deploy due to sample inefficiency. Meta-RL directly addresses this sample inefficiency by learning to perform few-sho…
Bayesian Exploration Networks
Mattie Fellows, Brandon Kaplowitz, Christian Schroeder de Witt +1
Bayesian reinforcement learning (RL) offers a principled and elegant approach for sequential decision making under uncertainty. Most notably, Bayesian agents do not face an explora…
The Waymo Open Sim Agents Challenge
Nico Montali, John Lambert, Paul Mougin +9
Simulation with realistic, interactive agents represents a key task for autonomous vehicle software development. In this work, we introduce the Waymo Open Sim Agents Challenge (WOS…
Cheap Talk Discovery and Utilization in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Yat Long Lo, Christian Schroeder de Witt, Samuel Sokota +2
By enabling agents to communicate, recent cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods have demonstrated better task performance and more coordinated behavior. Mos…
Trust-Region-Free Policy Optimization for Stochastic Policies
Mingfei Sun, Benjamin Ellis, Anuj Mahajan +3
Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO) is an iterative method that simultaneously maximizes a surrogate objective and enforces a trust region constraint over consecutive policies…
Why Target Networks Stabilise Temporal Difference Methods
Mattie Fellows, Matthew J. A. Smith, Shimon Whiteson
Integral to recent successes in deep reinforcement learning has been a class of temporal difference methods that use infrequently updated target values for policy evaluation in a M…
Universal Morphology Control via Contextual Modulation
Zheng Xiong, Jacob Beck, Shimon Whiteson
Learning a universal policy across different robot morphologies can significantly improve learning efficiency and generalization in continuous control. However, it poses a challeng…
A Tutorial on Meta-Reinforcement Learning
Jacob Beck, Risto Vuorio, Evan Zheran Liu +4
While deep reinforcement learning (RL) has fueled multiple high-profile successes in machine learning, it is held back from more widespread adoption by its often poor data efficien…
