Cooperative AI for Overcooked: Multi-Agent RL with Population-Based Training

In ad-hoc cooperative environments, the usage of artificial intelligence to take supportive roles and work in collaboration with humans has proven to be of great benefit. The objective of this research is to evaluate the use of population-based training for reinforcement learning agents in a simplified version of the multiplayer game -...

Smart Team Play: Utility of Population-Based Training for Cooperative AI in Overcooked

In an ad-hoc teamwork environment, artificial intelligence agents have the potential to take on supportive roles and complete tasks in collaboration with human players. The following paper investigates the use of employing population-based training (PBT) for reinforcement learning agents in the multi-player game Overcooked. In addition to this,...
