arXiv:2606. 25073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), from a deployment perspective, it is challenging and expensive to train agents from scratch for each new environment or task.
arXiv:2606. 24601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) addresses the problem of training multiple agents that pursue collaborative, competitive, or mixed objectives.
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.
arXiv:2605. 26684v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Group-based reinforcement learning (RL) methods have achieved remarkable success in improving the performance of large language models (LLMs) and have been rapidly extended to agentic tasks.
arXiv:2607. 28026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) or On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD).
arXiv:2606. 02337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained Multi-agent reinforcement learning (CMARL) faces two intertwined challenges: the joint action space grows exponentially with the number of agents, and additional requirements couple agents in ways that reward structure alone does not capture.
arXiv:2606. 26575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complex multi-agent control tasks remain challenging for traditional rule-based and model-based approaches, motivating the adoption of learning-based methods.
arXiv:2608.21830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents powered by Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for automating tasks across diver...
The paper introduces ICRL4AHT, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating In-Context Reinforcement Learning (ICRL) in Ad-Hoc Teamwork (AHT) scenarios using Overcooked-V2. It provides a diverse teammate suite, a reproducible pipeline, and evaluates history-conditioned ICRL algorithms such as Algorithm Distillation and Decision-Pretrained Transformer. The results show that these methods often perform worse than random baselines and do not improve with longer horizons, underscoring the difficulty of strategic inference under partial observability in AHT.
arXiv:2508. 06659v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) agents often struggle to generalize to new tasks and contexts without updating their parameters, mainly because their learned representations and policies are overfit to the specifics of their training environments.
arXiv:2608. 11658v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many reinforcement learning systems, from fleet management to traffic signal control, must serve an objective that changes dynamically after deployment, and retraining a policy for each new objective is prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2604. 13472v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is widely used to address large joint observation and action spaces by decomposing a centralized control problem into multiple interacting agents.
G2MAF is a test‑time refinement framework for offline multi‑agent reinforcement learning that applies a single globally normalized, projected critic gradient to adjust all agents’ actions while keeping them close to a frozen policy proposal. The method improves performance on 24 Multi‑Party Environment (MPE) and StarCraft Multi‑Agent Challenge (SMAC) benchmarks, achieving mean relative gains of 9.2% on MPE and 8.9% on SMAC, with only a 6% increase in inference latency.
