Formal Verification of Learned Multi-Agent Communication Policies via Decision Tree Distillation

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) enables agents to develop coordination strategies through emergent communication, but neural policies lack the formal safety guarantees required for safety-critical robotic deployment in drone swarms and autonomous vehicle fleets. We present the first end-to-end framework for safety verification of learned multi-agent communication policies through policy abstraction: neural policies are distilled into interpretable decision trees, then formally verified, with empirical validation confirming that verified safety properties transfer to original networks.

Communication-Aware Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Cooperative UAV Deployment

arXiv:2603. 16141v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms are increasingly used as rapidly deployable aerial relays and sensing platforms, yet practical deployments must operate under partial observability and intermittent peer-to-peer connectivity.
