Policy Space Diversity for Non-Transitive Games

Policy-Space Response Oracles (PSRO) is an influential algorithm framework for approximating a Nash Equilibrium (NE) in multi-agent non-transitive games. Many previous studies have been trying to promote policy diversity in PSRO. A major weakness in existing diversity metrics is that a more diverse (according to their diversity metrics) population does not necessarily mean (as we proved in the paper) a better approximation to a NE. To alleviate this problem, we propose a new diversity metric, the improvement of which guarantees a better approximation to a NE. Meanwhile, we develop a practical and well-justified method to optimize our diversity metric using only state-action samples. By incorporating our diversity regularization into the best response solving in PSRO, we obtain a new PSRO variant, Policy Space Diversity PSRO (PSD-PSRO). We present the convergence property of PSD-PSRO. Empirically, extensive experiments on various games demonstrate that PSD-PSRO is more effective in producing significantly less exploitable policies than state-of-the-art PSRO variants.

L2E: Learning to Exploit Your Opponent

Opponent modeling is essential to exploit sub-optimal opponents in strategic interactions. Most previous works focus on building explicit models to directly predict the opponents' styles or strategies, which require a large amount of data to train the model and lack adaptability to unknown opponents. In this work, we propose a novel Learning to Exploit (L2E) framework for implicit opponent modeling. L2E acquires the ability to exploit opponents by a few interactions with different opponents during training, thus can adapt to new opponents with unknown styles during testing quickly. We propose a novel opponent strategy generation algorithm that produces effective opponents for training automatically. We evaluate L2E on two poker games and one grid soccer game, which are the commonly used benchmarks for opponent modeling. Comprehensive experimental results indicate that L2E quickly adapts to diverse styles of unknown opponents.

Parametrized Deep Q-Networks Learning: Reinforcement Learning with Discrete-Continuous Hybrid Action Space

Most existing deep reinforcement learning (DRL) frameworks consider either discrete action space or continuous action space solely. Motivated by applications in computer games, we consider the scenario with discrete-continuous hybrid action space. To handle hybrid action space, previous works either approximate the hybrid space by discretization, or relax it into a continuous set. In this paper, we propose a parametrized deep Q-network (P- DQN) framework for the hybrid action space without approximation or relaxation. Our algorithm combines the spirits of both DQN (dealing with discrete action space) and DDPG (dealing with continuous action space) by seamlessly integrating them. Empirical results on a simulation example, scoring a goal in simulated RoboCup soccer and the solo mode in game King of Glory (KOG) validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our method.
