TITLE
Building Generalizable Sequential Decision-Making Systems: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in the Era of LLMs
ABSTRACT
In this talk, the speaker will discuss the feasibility of building a sequence decision-making system with strong generalization abilities, drawing from his previous research experience in the fields of multi-agent reinforcement learning and LLM agents. The speaker will first introduce the Multi-Agent Advantage Decomposition Theorem and its application in multi-agent reinforcement learning. This approach allows for transforming the MARL problem into a sequence modeling problem, which can then be optimized in conjunction with sequence models like Transformers. Additionally, the speaker will present their latest exploration to improve LLM agents' performance, including a framework for LLM agent reinforcement learning—Action Decomposition-based Bellman Update and Policy Optimization (BAD and POAD), which aims to bridge the theoretical gaps between reinforcement learning and language model optimization and improve learning efficiency. Lastly, the speaker will explore the alignment between multi-agent sequence modeling methods and the current generative paradigm of language agents, discussing the potential and challenges of applying multi-agent reinforcement learning for systems involving multiple language agents.
