Query: A Structured Prediction Approach for Generalization in Cooperative
  Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning   Effective coordination is crucial to solve multi-agent collaborative (MAC)
problems. While centralized reinforcement learning methods can optimally solve
small MAC instances, they do not scale to large problems and they fail to
generalize to scenarios different from those seen during training. In this
paper, we consider MAC problems with some intrinsic notion of locality (e.g.,
geographic proximity) such that interactions between agents and tasks are
locally limited. By leveraging this property, we introduce a novel structured
prediction approach to assign agents to tasks. At each step, the assignment is
obtained by solving a centralized optimization problem (the inference
procedure) whose objective function is parameterized by a learned scoring
model. We propose different combinations of inference procedures and scoring
models able to represent coordination patterns of increasing complexity. The
resulting assignment policy can be efficiently learned on small problem
instances and readily reused in problems with more agents and tasks (i.e.,
zero-shot generalization). We report experimental results on a toy search and
rescue problem and on several target selection scenarios in StarCraft: Brood
War, in which our model significantly outperforms strong rule-based baselines
on instances with 5 times more agents and tasks than those seen during
training.
