Aligning Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Human Preferences
This research introduces a novel approach for training Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) swarms by incorporating human feedback into multi-agent reinforcement learning systems.
- Addresses the challenge of aligning agent behavior with human intentions in complex security operations
- Implements Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) techniques adapted for multi-agent systems
- Demonstrates improved performance in search and rescue, surveillance, and vessel protection scenarios
- Creates more intuitive and human-aligned behavior patterns without explicitly coding all preferences
This advancement has significant implications for maritime security operations where automated systems must balance operational effectiveness with human tactical preferences and intuition.
