ÖZET
Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently achieved tremendous successes in many artificial intelligence applications. Many of the forefront applications of RL involve multiple agents, e.g., playing chess and Go games, autonomous driving, and robotics. Unfortunately, the framework upon which classical RL build is inappropriate for multi-agent learning, as it assumes an agent’s environment is stationary and does not take into account adaptivity of other agents. Therefore, Markov games (also known as stochastic games) are an ideal model for (decentralized) multi-agent reinforcement learning applications by modeling the interactions among human-like intelligent decision-makers in dynamic environments.

In this talk, I present a simple and independent learning dynamics for Markov games. It is a novel variant of fictitious play combining the classical fictitious play and Q-learning within two-timescale learning scheme. There has been limited progress on developing independent learning dynamics with systematic convergence guarantees. I will show that the presented dynamics converge almost surely to an equilibrium in certain but important classes of games such as zero-sum and (single-controller) identical-payoff Markov games. The results could also be generalized to the cases where players do not know the model of the environment, do not observe opponent actions and can use heterogenous learning rates. I will also discuss my future research agenda directed towards developing theoretical and algorithmic foundation of learning and autonomy in complex, dynamic and multi-agent systems.
