摘要:

强化学习(RL)的进步导致了人工智能(AI)在许多不同领域应用的最新突破。一个新兴的开发环境正在使强大的RL技术更容易为越来越多的研究人员社区所使用。然而,大多数现有的框架不直接解决在复杂的操作环境中学习的问题,如密集的城市设置或国防相关的情况下,将分布式,异构的代理团队。为了帮助实现这类重要应用的AI研究,我们引入了AI Arena:一个可扩展的框架,具有灵活的分布式多智能体强化学习抽象。AI Arena扩展了OpenAI Gym接口,允许在具有异构学习策略和本地化环境视图的多个代理之间学习控制策略时具有更大的灵活性。为了说明我们的框架的实用性,我们提出了实验结果,表现出由于分布式多智能体学习方法在几个不同的学习环境中常用的RL技术的性能增益。

英文摘要:

Advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have resulted in recent breakthroughs in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) across many different domains. An emerging landscape of development environments is making powerful RL techniques more accessible for a growing community of researchers. However, most existing frameworks do not directly address the problem of learning in complex operating environments, such as dense urban settings or defense-related scenarios, that incorporate distributed, heterogeneous teams of agents. To help enable AI research for this important class of applications, we introduce the AI Arena: a scalable framework with flexible abstractions for distributed multi-agent reinforcement learning. The AI Arena extends the OpenAI Gym interface to allow greater flexibility in learning control policies across multiple agents with heterogeneous learning strategies and localized views of the environment. To illustrate the utility of our framework, we present experimental results that demonstrate performance gains due to a distributed multi-agent learning approach over commonly-used RL techniques in several different learning environments.
