Résumé

Beyond Multi-Task or Multi-Agent learning, we develop in this work a multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm to handle a multi-task environments. Our proposed algorithm, Multi-Task Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy gradient, (MTMA-DDPG) (Code available at https://gitlab.com/awadailab/mtmaddpg ), extends its single task counterpart by running multiple tasks on distributed nodes and communicating parameters via pre-determined coefficients across the nodes. Parameter sharing is modulated through temporal decay of the communication coefficients. Training across nodes is parallelized without any centralized controller for different tasks, which opens horizons for flexible leveraging and parallel processing to improve MA learning.Empirically, we design different MA particle environments, where tasks are similar or heterogeneous. We study the performance of MTMA-DDPG in terms of reward, convergence, variance, and communication overhead. We demonstrate the improvement of our algorithm over its single-task counterpart, as well as the importance of a versatile technique to take advantage of parallel computing resources.
