Value-Aware Prediction for Robust Multi-Agent Coordination Under Communication Loss

arXiv:2607. 17914v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust multi-agent coordination relies heavily on inter-agent communication, which is frequently disrupted by physical and environmental constraints in real-world deployments.

Communication-Enhanced Tutoring for Efficient Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2508. 13661v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) is the dominant paradigm in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), enabling agents to act independently at test time while leveraging additional information during training.

Out-of-Distribution Generalisation with Sequence Models in Offline Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

The paper investigates zero‑shot task generalisation in offline multi‑agent reinforcement learning by extending sequence‑modeling architectures to support multi‑task observation and action spaces and variable agent counts. It finds that increasing task diversity, rather than merely enlarging the dataset, is the key driver for robust zero‑shot transfer. Experiments on four challenging environments show a 3.2× mean improvement on held‑out tasks compared to single‑task models and outperform strong behaviour‑cloning baselines.
