Learns a factored centralized critic and differentiates a joint current-policy action to coordinate actor updates; examines monotonic and nonmonotonic critic factorization in cooperative control.
Scientific scope
Learns a factored centralized critic and differentiates a joint current-policy action to coordinate actor updates; examines monotonic and nonmonotonic critic factorization in cooperative control. The controlling v5 is dated 7 May 2021. The same identifier's 2020 v1 describes COMIX/FacMADDPG with different methods and six-author order, and is not used to backdate FACMAC. Nonmonotonic factorization is allowed because actors perform decentralized inference; no global optimum is guaranteed. First three v5 authors are equal contributors.
