CMU Researchers Explore Expert Guidance and Strategic Deviations in Multi-Agent Imitation Learning

AI for Multi-Agent Imitation Learning: Practical Solutions and Value Challenges: The challenge of coordinating strategic agents without knowing their underlying utility functions can be addressed through multi-agent imitation learning (MAIL). This involves identifying the right objective for the learner and developing personalized route recommendations for users. Research Approaches: Current research includes single-agent imitation learning, interactive approaches, multi-agent imitation learning, and inverse game theory. These approaches address challenges such as covariate shifts, compounding errors, and learning coordination from demonstrations. Regret Gap and Value Gap: Carnegie Mellon University researchers have proposed the regret gap as an alternative objective for multi-agent imitation learning in Markov Games. They have found efficient reductions to minimize the regret gap, providing a robust solution for multi-agent environments. Practical Applications: Real-world applications benefit from multi-agent adaptation of single-agent imitation learning algorithms, such as Behavior Cloning (BC) and Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL). Extensions like Joint Behavior Cloning (J-BC) and Joint Inverse Reinforcement Learning (J-IRL) maintain the same value gap bounds as in the single-agent setting.
