Reinforcement Learning Of Competitive And Cooperative Skills In Soccer Agents, Jinsong Leng, Chee Lim Jan 2011

Reinforcement Learning Of Competitive And Cooperative Skills In Soccer Agents, Jinsong Leng, Chee Lim

Research outputs 2011

The main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive numerical analysis on the efficiency of various reinforcementlearning (RL) techniques in an agent-based soccer game. The SoccerBots is employed as a simulation testbed to analyze the effectiveness of RL techniques under various scenarios. A hybrid agent teaming framework for investigating agent team architecture, learning abilities, and other specific behaviours is presented. Novel RL algorithms to verify the competitiveandcooperativelearning abilities of goal-oriented agents for decision-making are developed. In particular, the tile coding (TC) technique, a function approximation approach, is used to prevent the state space from growing exponentially, hence avoiding …
