Mean-Field Diffuser: Scaling Offline MARL to Thousands of Agents

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2605. 30190v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion-based planning has achieved strong results in single-agent offline reinforcement learning, yet scaling to many-agent systems remains intractable due to the curse of dimensionality in the joint trajectory space.

Towards Scaling Reinforcement Learning to Massive Populations: Learning Mean-Field Representations

The paper proposes a mean‑field reinforcement learning framework that models rewards and transitions as functions of an unknown low‑dimensional aggregate statistic of a large agent population. By learning this low‑dimensional representation in an offline setting, the authors demonstrate a provable method for obtaining near‑optimal policies. Experiments on a one‑step routing game inspired by supply‑chain problems show that, with a fixed neural‑network size and optimization budget, the learned representation improves reward prediction and the quality of Nash equilibria compared to baselines that ignore population structure.
