Stigmergy in Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning
Raghav Aras, Alain Dutech, François Charpillet · 2005
In this paper, we describe how certain aspects of the biological phenomena of stigmergy can be imported into multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL), with the purpose of better enabling coordination of agent actions and speeding up learning. In particular, we detail how these stigmergic aspects can be used to define an inter-agent communication framework.
