The Curious Case of Exploding DecPOMDPs: Containing the Fire through Policy Counting

arXiv:2608. 17749v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralised partially observable Markov decision processes (DecPOMDPs) provide a general framework for modelling multi-agent decision making under uncertainty.

Learning Policy from a Single Trajectory in Average-Reward Markov Decision Process

arXiv:2606. 16729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While there is an extensive body of work characterizing the sample complexity of discounted cumulative-reward MDPs, finite sample analyses for average-reward MDPs have been limited, and most existing works rely on restrictive assumptions such as ergodicity or access to a generative model.

Probing Dec-POMDP Reasoning in Cooperative MARL

arXiv:2602. 20804v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is typically framed as a decentralised partially observable Markov decision process (Dec-POMDP), a setting whose hardness stems from two key challenges: partial observability and decentralised coordination.
