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.

Distributed Online Bandit Submodular Maximization with Bounded Sampling Violations

arXiv:2607. 00680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distributed online submodular maximization under partition matroid constraints, in which multiple agents select a limited number of actions from their own subsets sequentially to maximize the cumulative value of a sequence of objective functions.

Provably Optimal Learning Algorithms for Assistance Games

arXiv:2607. 08012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies an online variant of the assistance games framework, where an informed agent and an uninformed agent repeatedly interact over $T$ timesteps to optimize a common reward function.

DCM Bandits: Multiplayer Information Asymmetric Cascading Bandits for Multiple Clicks

arXiv:2608. 11873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we extend the Dependent Click Model (DCM) Bandits to a multiplayer information-asymmetric setting, where multiple agents interact with a shared ranked list and may observe multiple clicks per session, introducing new challenges for selection strategies.
