The paper discusses the augmentation of the Concurrent Individual and Social Learning (CISL) mechanism with a new Human Advice Layer (HAL). The new layer is characterized by a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), which is trained on human experience data. The CISL mechanism consists of the Individual Performance and Task Allocation Markov Decision Processes (MDP), and the HAL can provide preferred action selection policies to the individual agents. The data utilized for training the GMM is collected using a heterogeneous team foraging simulation. When leveraging human experience in the multi-agent learning process, the team performance is enhanced significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
