多智能体强化学习中,从示范数据推断奖励函数,提升学习效率与准确性。

Multi-Agent Inverse Q-Learning from Demonstrations

  • 为每个智能体构建对其他智能体策略取边缘化的价值函数,解决多智能体非平稳问题。
  • 在三个模拟环境中,平均奖励和奖励恢复能力比现有方法提升2-5倍以上。
  • 适合需要高效学习合作与竞争平衡的多智能体系统研究者使用。

当奖励函数手动设计时,深度强化学习常因奖励错设而学习到次优策略。单智能体情况下,逆强化学习(IRL)可通过专家示范推断奖励函数。但在多智能体场景中,环境非平稳性加剧,且随着智能体数量增加,方差显著上升,导致学习目标与真实目标更易失配。尤其在一般和博弈中,多智能体IRL难以平衡合作与竞争目标。为此,我们提出多智能体边际Q学习(MAMQL),一种样本高效的多智能体IRL框架。针对每个智能体,MAMQL学习一个对其他智能体策略取边缘化的评判器,支持在多智能体环境中合理使用Boltzmann策略。我们发现最优边缘评判器与单智能体软Q-IRL存在关联,从而可直接采用单智能体领域的简单优化准则。在三个不同模拟环境中的实验表明,MAMQL在平均奖励、样本效率和奖励恢复方面均显著优于先前方法,多数情况提升2-5倍以上。代码已公开于 https://sites.google.com/view/mamql。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

When reward functions are hand-designed, deep reinforcement learning algorithms often suffer from reward misspecification, causing them to learn suboptimal policies in terms of the intended task objectives. In the single-agent case, inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) techniques attempt to address this issue by inferring the reward function from expert demonstrations. However, in multi-agent problems, misalignment between the learned and true objectives is exacerbated due to increased environment non-stationarity and variance that scales with multiple agents. As such, in multi-agent general-sum games, multi-agent IRL algorithms have difficulty balancing cooperative and competitive objectives. To address these issues, we propose Multi-Agent Marginal Q-Learning from Demonstrations (MAMQL), a novel sample-efficient framework for multi-agent IRL. For each agent, MAMQL learns a critic marginalized over the other agents' policies, allowing for a well-motivated use of Boltzmann policies in the multi-agent context. We identify a connection between optimal marginalized critics and single-agent soft-Q IRL, allowing us to apply a direct, simple optimization criterion from the single-agent domain. Across our experiments on three different simulated domains, MAMQL significantly outperforms previous multi-agent methods in average reward, sample efficiency, and reward recovery by often more than 2-5x. We make our code available at https://sites.google.com/view/mamql .
