  • 集群作为学习代理,共享经验池实现并行学习。
  • 参与度提升不必然增效,关键在经验重用策略与梯度过渡经验主导性。
  • 适合资源受限下大规模无人机协同任务的强化学习应用。

传统联邦学习假设更多参与者能提升训练性能,依赖于独立生成的丰富本地数据。但在危险环境中,无人机群的强化学习面临安全约束、能量限制和任务时长制约,导致经验生成严重受限,此假设可能失效。本文提出体验受限分层联邦强化学习(EC-HFRL)框架:集群作为联邦学习代理,集群内多个学习者共享同一经验池,实现并行学习。研究表明,增加参与度并不必然提升学习性能;性能主要取决于经验重用策略及集群内关键梯度过渡经验的主导性。具体而言,小批量大小主要决定有效回放暴露程度,而更高集群内参与度则提升重用水平。实验结果表明,性能表现强烈依赖学习信号结构,而非联邦聚合效应,揭示了在体验受限场景下学习者参与度的有限且次要作用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conventional federated learning assumes that greater learner participation improves training performance, by leveraging abundant, independently generated local data. However, in federated reinforcement learning (FRL) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) teams in hazardous environments where experience generation is severely constrained by safety considerations, energy limitations, and mission duration, this assumption may break. This work introduces Experience-Constrained Hierarchical Federated Reinforcement Learning (EC-HFRL), a framework in which clusters act as federated learning agents, while multiple intra-cluster learners represent parallel learning resources that reuse a shared experience pool. We show that increasing participation does not necessarily improve learning performance. Instead, learning performance is strongly associated with experience reuse strategy and the dominance of key analytically identified gradient transition experiences within a cluster. In particular, minibatch size primarily determines effective replay exposure, while higher intra-cluster participation increases reuse level. Empirical results demonstrate that the performance regimes are strongly associated with the structure of the learning signal, rather than federated aggregation effects, clarifying the limited and secondary role of learner participation in experience-constrained FRL.
