Dreamer-CPC: Message Learning with World Models for Decentralized Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.19809v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), inter-agent communication is effective for improving performance under partial observability. Representation learning-based approaches enable decentralized agents to learn messages grounded in their own observations, but they rely only on current observations and cannot convey information accumulated over time. We propose Dreamer-CPC, a decentralized model-based MARL method that integrates message learning based on Collective Predictive Coding (CPC) into the world model of DreamerV3. Each agent independently maintains a world model and a message module, and infers and exchanges messages from the latent states of the world model that reflect the history of past observations and actions. We evalua
