Reinforcement learning to play an optimal Nash equilibrium in team
... In RL, the agents usually do not know the environmental model (game) up front and receive noisy payoffs. In this case, even the lexicographic approaches may not work because agents receive noisy payoffs independently and thus may never perceive a tie. Another significant ...
