- 适合研究离线多智能体学习或需要稳定训练的场景。
离线强化学习(RL)因其无需额外环境交互即可从预收集数据集中学习有效策略而受到广泛关注。尽管单智能体场景已取得显著成果,离线多智能代理强化学习(MARL)仍面临联合状态-动作空间庞大及多智能体行为复杂等挑战。离线RL的核心问题是分布偏移:目标策略优化时与生成数据的行为策略产生偏离。这一问题在MARL中尤为严重,因智能体间局部策略相互依赖且联合状态-动作空间广阔。现有方法主要在Q函数或策略空间施加正则化。本文提出在平稳分布空间引入正则化,以更有效应对分布偏移。所提算法ComaDICE通过全局学习策略的平稳分布正则化,并结合精心设计的多智能体值分解策略,为离线协作MARL提供严谨框架。在多智能体MuJoCo和StarCraft II基准上的大量实验表明,ComaDICE在几乎所有任务中均优于现有最先进离线MARL方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) has garnered significant attention for its ability to learn effective policies from pre-collected datasets without the need for further environmental interactions. While promising results have been demonstrated in single-agent settings, offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) presents additional challenges due to the large joint state-action space and the complexity of multi-agent behaviors. A key issue in offline RL is the distributional shift, which arises when the target policy being optimized deviates from the behavior policy that generated the data. This problem is exacerbated in MARL due to the interdependence between agents' local policies and the expansive joint state-action space. Prior approaches have primarily addressed this challenge by incorporating regularization in the space of either Q-functions or policies. In this work, we introduce a regularizer in the space of stationary distributions to better handle distributional shift. Our algorithm, ComaDICE, offers a principled framework for offline cooperative MARL by incorporating stationary distribution regularization for the global learning policy, complemented by a carefully structured multi-agent value decomposition strategy to facilitate multi-agent training. Through extensive experiments on the multi-agent MuJoCo and StarCraft II benchmarks, we demonstrate that ComaDICE achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art offline MARL methods across nearly all tasks.
