Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and Bandit Learning
Organizers:
Many of the most exciting recent applications of reinforcement learning are game theoretic in nature. Agents must learn in the presence of other agents whose decisions influence the feedback they gather, and must explore and optimize their own decisions in anticipation of how they will affect the other agents and the state of the world. Such problems are naturally modeled through the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) — i.e., as problems of learning and optimization in multi-agent stochastic games.
While the basic (single-agent) reinforcement learning problem has been the subject of intense recent investigation — including development of efficient algorithms with provable, non-asymptotic theoretical guarantees — multi-agent reinforcement learning has been comparatively unexplored. This workshop will focus on developing strong theoretical foundations for multi-agent reinforcement learning, and on bridging gaps between theory and practice.
Registration is required to attend this boot camp. Space may be limited, and you are advised to register early. The link to the registration form will appear on this page approximately 10 weeks before the boot camp. Please await confirmation of your acceptance before booking your travel.
