A key goal of ad hoc teamwork is to develop a learning agent that cooperates with unknown teams, without resorting to any pre-coordination protocol. Despite a vast number of ad hoc teamwork algorithms in the literature, most of them cannot address the problem of learning to cooperate with a completely unknown team, unless it learns from scratch. This article presents a novel approach that uses transfer learning alongside the state-of-the-art PLASTIC-Policy to adapt to completely unknown teammates quickly. We test our solution within the Half Field Offense simulator with five different teammates. The teammates were designed independently by developers from different countries and at different times. Our empirical evaluation shows that it is advantageous for an ad hoc agent to leverage its past knowledge when adapting to a new team instead of learning how to cooperate with it from scratch.","PeriodicalId":382392,"journal":{"name":"Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115243914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, a task management system that matches them with the workforce too early (e.g., weeks in advance) is necessarily sub-optimal. Also, the rapidly increasing size of the action space of such a system consists of a significant problem for traditional schedulers. Reinforcement learning, however, is suited to deal with issues requiring making sequential decisions towards a long-term, often remote, goal. In this work, we set ourselves on a problem that presents itself with a hierarchical structure: the task-scheduling, by a centralised agent, in a dynamic warehouse multi-agent environment and the execution of one such schedule, by decentralised agents with only partial observability thereof. We propose to use deep reinforcement learning to solve both the high-level scheduling problem and the low-level multi-agent problem of schedule execution. Finally, we also conceive the case where centralisation is impossible at test time and workers must learn how to cooperate in executing the tasks in an environment with no schedule and only partial observability.","PeriodicalId":382392,"journal":{"name":"Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131021478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
