Expressive Multi-Agent Communication via Identity-Aware Learning
March 2024 • Wei Du, Shifei Ding, Lili Guo, Jian Zhang, Ling Ding
Information sharing through communication is essential for tackling complex multi-agent reinforcement learning tasks. Many existing multi-agent communication protocols can be viewed as instances of message passing graph neural networks (GNNs). However, due to the significantly limited expressive ability of the standard GNN method, the agent feature representations remain similar and indistinguishable even though the agents have different neighborhood structures. This further results in the homogenization of agent …
