arXiv:2601. 21523v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: To promote cooperation in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, the reward signals of all agents can be aggregated together, forming global rewards that are commonly known as the fully cooperative setting.

arXiv:2606. 30072v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cooperative tasks in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) require agents to collectively maximize a shared return.

arXiv:2608. 01425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training LLM-based multi-agent systems with multi-agent reinforcement learning is rapidly gaining traction, and a parallel line of work argues that such systems should be judged by their behavior, not only their reward.

arXiv:2607. 26788v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustered federated learning benefits from organizing heterogeneous participants into coalitions that train coalition-specific models, but such clustering is sustainable only if participants prefer their assigned coalition and the required transfers are affordable.

arXiv:2603. 21563v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Collaborative multi-agent large language models (LLMs) can solve complex reasoning tasks by decomposing roles, but reinforcement learning for such systems is limited by credit assignment: shared terminal rewards obscure individual contributions and can encourage free-riding.

arXiv:2606. 25526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning assumes each agent shares the same reward function and can be trained effectively using the Trust Region framework of single-agent.

arXiv:2601. 17454v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Centralized value learning underlies a broad class of multi-agent reinforcement learning methods, but its claimed advantage is typically evaluated in settings that confound coordination structure with function approximation and partial observability.

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:2602. 07764v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) seeks to train agents capable of balancing conflicting objectives.

arXiv:2606. 25556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stepwise group-based RL is an attractive way to train long-horizon LLM agents without a learned critic: it reuses multiple sampled rollouts to estimate local advantages.

arXiv:2608. 03467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) com- monly optimizes each correct completion as an independent learning signal.

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.
