Popis: Sample efficiency remains a key challenge in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). A promising approach is to learn a meaningful latent representation space through auxiliary learning objectives alongside the MARL objective to aid in learning a successful control policy. In our work, we present MAPO-LSO (Multi-Agent Policy Optimization with Latent Space Optimization) which applies a form of comprehensive representation learning devised to supplement MARL training. Specifically, MAPO-LSO proposes a multi-agent extension of transition dynamics reconstruction and self-predictive learning that constructs a latent state optimization scheme that can be trivially extended to current state-of-the-art MARL algorithms. Empirical results demonstrate MAPO-LSO to show notable improvements in sample efficiency and learning performance compared to its vanilla MARL counterpart without any additional MARL hyperparameter tuning on a diverse suite of MARL tasks.
