Reinforcement Learning with Multiple Shared Rewards.

A major concern in multi-agent coordination is how to select algorithms that can lead agents to learn together to achieve certain goals. Much of the research on multi-agent learning relates to reinforcement learning (RL) techniques. One element of RL is the interaction model, which describes how agents should interact with each other and with the environment. Discrete, continuous and objective-oriented interaction models can improve convergence among agents. This paper proposes an approach based on the integration of multi-agent coordination models designed for reward-sharing policies. By taking the best features from each model, better agent coordination is achieved. Our experimental results show that this approach improves convergence among agents even in large state-spaces and yields better results than classical RL approaches.
