Abstract
Many real-world scenarios involve a team of agents that have to coordinate their policies to achieve a shared goal. Previous studies mainly focus on decentralized control to maximize a common reward and barely consider the coordination among control policies, which is critical in dynamic and complicated environments. In this work, we propose factorizing the joint team policy into a graph generator and graph-based coordinated policy to enable coordinated behaviours among agents. The graph generator adopts an encoder-decoder framework that outputs directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to capture the underlying dynamic decision structure. We also apply the DAGness-constrained and DAG depth-constrained optimization in the graph generator to balance efficiency and performance. The graph-based coordinated policy exploits the generated decision structure. The graph generator and coordinated policy are trained simultaneously to maximize the discounted return.
