CCKS: Consensus-based Communication and Knowledge Sharing

arXiv:2606.12281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Decentralized Training and Decentralized Execution (DTDE) for cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), action-advising-based knowledge sharing promotes interpretable and scalable cooperation among agents. However, current action advising approaches often adhere too much to the teacher's guidance without evaluating teacher-student compatibility, which causes excessive advising, suboptimal stability, and degraded performance. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents a Consensus-based Communication and Knowledge Sharing (

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning necessitates more sophisticated communication and knowledge-sharing protocols to improve performance and stability.

Why it’s important

Improving decentralized training and execution in MARL is crucial for developing robust and scalable AI systems, directly influencing AI's deployment in complex, real-world environments.

What changes

The proposed Consensus-based Communication and Knowledge Sharing (CCKS) method could lead to more efficient and reliable multi-agent systems by addressing limitations of current action advising approaches.
