Explainable and Adaptable Augmentation in Knowledge Attention Network for Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning Systems

Abstract

The scale of modem Artificial Intelligence systems has been growing and entering more research territories by incorporating Deep Learning (DL) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods. More specifically, multi-agent DRL methods have been widely applied to address the problems of high-dimensional computation, which interpret the conditions that real-world systems mainly encounter and the issues that require resolving. However, the current approaches of DL and DRL are often challenged for their untransparent and time-consuming modeling processes in their attempt to achieve a practical and applicable inference based on human-level perspective and acceptance. This paper presents an explainable and adaptable augmented knowledge attention network for multi-agent DRL systems, which uses game theory simulation to tackle the problem of non-stationarity at the beginning, while improving the learning exploration built upon the strategic ontology to achieve the learning convergence more efficiently for autonomous agents. We anticipate that our approach will facilitate future research studies and potential research inspections of emerging multi-agent DRL systems for increasingly complex and autonomous environments.
