Surrogate Difference Evaluations with Limited Peer to Peer Communications
Steven Andrew King, Scott Forer, Adarsh Kesireddy, Logan Yliniemi · 2018
In this work, we introduce Surrogate Difference Evaluations (SD) --- an agent-specific credit assignment structure in the vein of Difference Evaluations which only uses local information, and peer-to-peer communicated information. SD loses less than 6% performance with 99.96% less communication volume than Difference Evaluations in a simulated underwater exploration domain with limited communication.
