Abstract

In the field of adversarial games, existing decision-making algorithms primarily rely on reinforcement learning, which can theoretically adapt to diverse scenarios through trial and error. However, these algorithms often face the challenges of low effectiveness and slow convergence in complex wargame environments. Inspired by how human commanders make decisions, this article proposes a novel method named full integration of hierarchical decision-making and tactical knowledge (HDMTK). This method comprises an upper reinforcement learning module and a lower multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) module. To enable agents to efficiently learn the cooperative strategy, in HDMTK, we separate the whole task into explainable subtasks and devise their corresponding subgoals for shaping the online rewards based on tactical knowledge. Experimental results on the wargame simulation platform “MiaoSuan” show that, compared to the advanced MARL methods, HDMTK exhibits superior performance and faster convergence in the complex scenarios.
HDMTK:多智能体对抗博弈中层次决策和战术知识的全面整合
在对抗博弈领域,现有的决策算法主要依赖于强化学习,理论上可以通过试错来适应不同的场景。然而,这些算法在复杂的兵棋环境中往往面临效率低、收敛速度慢的挑战。受人类指挥官决策方式的启发,本文提出了一种新的分层决策与战术知识完全集成方法(HDMTK)。该方法包括上部强化学习模块和下部多智能体强化学习模块。为了使智能体能够有效地学习合作策略,在HDMTK中,我们将整个任务分解为可解释的子任务,并根据战术知识设计相应的子目标来形成在线奖励。在“妙算”兵棋模拟平台上的实验结果表明,与先进的MARL方法相比,HDMTK在复杂场景下表现出更优越的性能和更快的收敛速度。

期刊介绍: The IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems (TCDS) focuses on advances in the study of development and cognition in natural (humans, animals) and artificial (robots, agents) systems. It welcomes contributions from multiple related disciplines including cognitive systems, cognitive robotics, developmental and epigenetic robotics, autonomous and evolutionary robotics, social structures, multi-agent and artificial life systems, computational neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Articles on theoretical, computational, application-oriented, and experimental studies as well as reviews in these areas are considered.
