MULTI-AGENT REINFORCEMENT LEARNING WITH MATCHMAKING POLICIES

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training a policy neural network having a plurality of policy parameters and used to select actions to be performed by an agent to control the agent to perform a particular task while interacting with one or more other agents in an environment. In one aspect, the method includes: maintaining data specifying a pool of candidate action selection policies; maintaining data specifying respective matchmaking policy; and training the policy neural network using a reinforcement learning technique to update the policy parameters. The policy parameters define policies to be used in controlling the agent to perform the particular task.
