Documentation about centralized Learning for Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning

5 views (last 30 days)
I know that it is now possibile in Mathworks to train multiple agents within the same environment for a collaborative task, using the so called "centralized" learning for agents of the same group. I understand the benefits of this approach and from the documentation it is clear how to code it. However, I was not able to find anywhere in the documentation any reference about the theory and the specific computations that this approach implies. I don't doubt that it works, but I would like to know more about the technical details if possible. To be more specific: I'm looking for references & informations related to the "LearningStrategy" property of object "rlMultiAgentTrainingOptions"

References for MATLAB functions are typically in two locations:
  • at the bottom of the page for specific functions (or sometime one click away, in a document page about the underlying methods and algorithms)
  • in the code itself for the function (which can be seen using "type functionName.m")
Without knowing the functions you are trying to understand, it's not possible to be more specific.

It seems to me that this documentation page describes the algorithm, and this page also has a lot of detail.
The second page also lists this reference:
[1] Sutton, Richard S., and Andrew G. Barto. Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. Second edition. Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning. Cambridge, Mass: The MIT Press, 2018.

Thank you for the additional infos. This covers a lot of details about Reinforcement Learning training, but there isn't anything specific about the "centralized" LearningStrategy property of MultiAgent training
