Abstract:
Networked multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) addresses distributed control of multi-agent systems (MASs). Traditional networked MARL algorithms are unable to represent the spatial correlation of node features, which results in failure to guarantee the cooperation and convergence performance of algorithms. To represent the spatial correlation between agents, we design an entity graph with spatial correlation for networked MARL (EGNMARL). Specifically, each agent constructs a directed entity graph network based on node features from the other entities relative to itself, and uses Euclidean distances between entities to represent edge features, which helps agents effectively understand their positions and roles in MASs. Second, we adopt the unified message passing model (UniMP) as the information aggregation strategy and embed it into the actor-critic learning framework, which enables the agents to learn the node message representations of their dynamic neighbors and capture the spatial correlations among entities. Finally, we compare EGNMARL with several baseline MARL algorithms in different environments, and the experimental results show that EGNMARL achieves advantages in both cooperation performance and convergence speed. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
