Conditions coordinated agent utilities on an episode-level latent variable and trains a hierarchical exploration policy with a variational mutual-information objective to distinguish joint behaviors.
Scientific scope
Conditions coordinated agent utilities on an episode-level latent variable and trains a hierarchical exploration policy with a variational mutual-information objective to distinguish joint behaviors. The mutual-information term is a variational lower bound, exact only at the true posterior. Conditional monotonic value mixing and empirical exploration gains do not imply arbitrary-game coverage or global convergence. The first-author star denotes correspondence, not equal contribution.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
