arXiv:2504. 03991v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding how humans collaborate and communicate in teams is essential for improving human-agent teaming and AI-assisted decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 11250v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exploration is essential for reliable autonomy in multi-agent systems, yet it remains unclear whether large language model (LLM) agents can explore effectively when interacting with one another.
The paper introduces Trajectory-guided Joint Policy Optimization (TJPO), a reinforcement‑learning framework that explicitly encourages diversity in the trajectories of large‑language‑model agents. By defining task‑specific trajectory descriptors, TJPO measures and optimizes diversity as a set‑level function, avoiding population‑based training. Experiments on Sokoban and ALFWorld demonstrate that TJPO yields diverse, interpretable behaviors while preserving strong task performance.
UnifiedPlayers is a cooperative framework that jointly adapts planning, execution, and evaluation for tool-integrated reinforcement learning agents. It consists of a Planning Player that generates tasks, an Execution Player that creates multi-turn trajectories with Python tool calls, and an Evaluation Player that builds executable verifiers, all coordinated by role‑specific rewards under GRPO. The approach outperforms prior baselines on mathematical and general reasoning benchmarks and yields a verifier with high adversarial detection accuracy and more discriminative reward signals.
The paper investigates zero‑shot task generalisation in offline multi‑agent reinforcement learning by extending sequence‑modeling architectures to support multi‑task observation and action spaces and variable agent counts. It finds that increasing task diversity, rather than merely enlarging the dataset, is the key driver for robust zero‑shot transfer. Experiments on four challenging environments show a 3.2× mean improvement on held‑out tasks compared to single‑task models and outperform strong behaviour‑cloning baselines.
