Causality-Aware Efficient Exploration for Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Exploration is critical for cooperative multi agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to improve sample efficiency. However, existing intrinsic motivation based exploration strategies in MARL overlook the causal relationships among agents, global states, and rewards, suffering from interference by irrel

SafeDialBench: A Fine-Grained Safety Evaluation Benchmark for Large Language Models in Multi-Turn Dialogues with Diverse Jailbreak Attacks

ICLR 2026poster

With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), the safety of LLMs has been a critical concern requiring precise assessment. Current benchmarks primarily concentrate on single-turn dialogues or a single jailbreak attack method to assess the safety. Additionally, these benchmarks have not…

Beyond Mandatory Federations: Balancing Egoism, Utilitarianism and Egalitarianism in Mixed-Motive Games

AAAI 2025technical

In the field of mixed-motive games, extensive multi-agent learning studies have explored the balance between egoism (individual interest), utilitarianism (collective interest), and egalitarianism (fairness). Traditional approaches often rely on manually designed reward functions, social norms, and a…

Causal Information Prioritization for Efficient Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2025poster

Current Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods often suffer from sample-inefficiency, resulting from blind exploration strategies that neglect causal relationships among states, actions, and rewards. Although recent causal approaches aim to address this problem, they lack grounded modeling of reward-gu…

Towards Empowerment Gain through Causal Structure Learning in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2025poster

In Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL), incorporating causal structures into dynamics models provides agents with a structured understanding of the environments, enabling efficient decision. Empowerment as an intrinsic motivation enhances the ability of agents to actively control their enviro…

Multi-Agent Exploration via Self-Learning and Social Learning

ICASSP 2024accepted

Self-learning and social learning stand as two pivotal constituents in multi-agent exploration. Inspired by the fact that animals and humans explore unfamiliar environments to learn survival skills by training themselves using unlabeled data and replicating others’ successful experiences, we propose…

Multi-Agent Sparse Interaction Modeling is an Anomaly Detection Problem

ICASSP 2024accepted

Most real-world multi-agent tasks exhibit the characteristic of sparse interaction, wherein agents interact with each other in a limited number of crucial states while largely acting independently. Effectively modeling the sparse interaction and leveraging the learned interaction structure to instru…
