A Survey On Large-population Systems And Scalable Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

The analysis and control of large-population systems is of great interest to diverse areas of research and engineering, ranging from epidemiology over robotic swarms to economics and finance. An increasingly popular and effective approach to realizing sequential decision-making in multi-agent systems is through multi-agent reinforcement learning, as it allows for an automatic and model-free analysis of highly complex systems. However, the key issue of scalability complicates the design of control and reinforcement learning algorithms particularly in systems with large populations of agents. While reinforcement learning has found resounding empirical success in many scenarios with few agents, problems with many agents quickly become intractable and necessitate special consideration. In this survey, we will shed light on current approaches to tractably understanding and analyzing large-population systems, both through multi-agent reinforcement learning and through adjacent areas of resea
