Generative-Discriminative Mean Field Distribution Approximation in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning
Published in RL Conference, 2024
This research aims to propose a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm, GD-MFRL that efficiently represents the distribution using function approximation in a two-part generative and discriminative setting; (i) one part learns to generate distributions by trial and error, and (ii) the other part tries to evaluate these distributions.

Generative Adversarial Skill Estimation in Opponent Modeling
Published in RL Conference, 2024
In this paper, I propose a novel method called generative adversarial skill estimation (GASE) to encourage the estimation and the probability of success in RL opponent modeling via introducing an intrinsic reward output from a foundation model generative adversarial network, where the generator provides fake samples of the opponent’s actions that help discriminator to identify those failed actions with their probability of success.

Reward-Free Reinforcement Learning with GNN and Adversarial Linear Mixture MDPs
Published in European Workshop on Reinforcement Learning, 2024
This paper proposes a new framework for the reward-free RL setting with function approximation i.e. the adversarial linear mixture MDPs. As Jin, et al. (2020).

Idea: Online Opponent Modeling with Foundation Models
Published in ICML, 2024
This paper proposes using foundation models (FMs), i.e., large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), to achieve this goal. The LLM generates instructions that help the agent to learn features of the behavior of the opponent and ultimately enables the agent to exploit the opponent’s strategy in the current environment d(s0).
