Decentralized Multi-Player Q-Learning in Episodic Markov Decision Processes with Information Asymmetry

arXiv:2608. 12753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study decentralized multi-player reinforcement learning in episodic tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) under three forms of information asymmetry: (A) unobserved actions with common rewards, (B) observed actions with independent rewards, and (C) unobserved actions with independent rewards.

Provably Efficient Federated Reinforcement Learning with Linear Function Approximation and Logarithmic Communication Cost

The paper introduces Fed‑LSVI, a federated online reinforcement learning algorithm that uses linear function approximation in episodic Markov decision processes. It achieves a regret bound of ≥O(√{Md^3H^4T}) while only exchanging compressed sufficient statistics, thereby meeting privacy constraints. The method reduces communication cost to logarithmic in the number of episodes, a marked improvement over previous approaches that required linear communication.
