📖 Presented The AAMAS Conference The authors propose a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning approach (DNA-MARL) for agents to learn cooperative behavior using only local observations and communication, which outperforms existing approaches. Read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2501.08778

📖 Presented The AAMAS Conference The authors use the extended Lewis Game framework to demonstrate how agents use implicit repair to adapt their communication in noisy environments, with very good results. Read it here: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.555…

📖 Presented The AAMAS Conference, co-authored by GAIPS members Filipa Correia and Joana Campos Results from a user study (N=256) show that manipulating the feedback strategy of a virtual agent in a cooperation game can promote cooperation. Read it here: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.555…
