On Improving Decentralized Hysteretic Deep Reinforcement Learning
share
Recent successes of value-based multi-agent deep reinforcement learning employ optimism in value function by carefully controlling learning rate(Omidshafiei et al., 2017) or reducing update prob-ability (Palmer et al., 2018). We introduce a de-centralized quantile estimator: Responsible Implicit Quantile Network (RIQN), while robust to teammate-environment interactions, able to reduce the amount of imposed optimism. Upon benchmarking against related Hysteretic-DQN(HDQN) and Lenient-DQN (LDQN), we findRIQN agents more stable, sample efficient and more likely to converge to the optimal policy.
