Optimization without Future Compromises? Decentralized Coordination via Collective and Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Hierarchical Reinforcement and Collective Learning (HRCL), a framework that combines multi‑agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with decentralized coordination. HRCL uses MARL at a high level to generate strategic guidance that limits the decision space for low‑level agents, enabling efficient short‑term coordination while considering long‑term effects. Experiments on synthetic, energy‑management, and drone‑swarm scenarios demonstrate faster convergence and significant reductions in system‑wide and individual costs compared to standalone MARL.

Preference-based opponent shaping in differentiable games

The paper introduces Preference-based Opponent Shaping (PBOS), a method that incorporates a preference parameter into an agent’s loss function to directly consider an opponent’s loss during strategy updates. By jointly learning strategy and preference parameters, PBOS aims to guide agents toward cooperative or competitive behaviors without relying on simple opponent predictions. Experiments on differentiable games demonstrate that PBOS enables agents to achieve better reward distributions across various environments.
