We present a novel multi-agent learning paradigm called team-partitioned, opaque-transition reinforcement learning (TPOT-RL). TPOT-RL introduces the use of action-dependent features to generalize the state space. In our work, we use a learned action-dependent feature space to aid higher-level reinforcement learning. TPOT-RL is an effective technique to allow a team of agents to learn to cooperate towards the achievement of a specific goal. It is an adaptation of traditional RL methods that is applicable in complex, non-Markovian, multi-agent domains with large state spaces and limited training opportunities. TPOT-RL is fully implemented and has been tested in the robotic soccer domain, a complex, multi-agent framework. This paper presents the algorithmic details of TPOT-RL as well as empirical results demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed multi-agent learning approach with learned features.

We present a novel multi-agent learning paradigm
called team-partitioned, opaque-transition
reinforcement learning (TPOT-RL). TPOT-RL
introduces the use of action-dependent features to
generalize the state space. In our work, we use a
{\it learned} action-dependent feature space to aid
higher-level reinforcement learning. TPOT-RL is an
effective technique to allow a team of agents to
learn to cooperate towards the achievement of a
specific goal. It is an adaptation of traditional
RL methods that is applicable in complex,
non-Markovian, multi-agent domains with large state
spaces and limited training opportunities. TPOT-RL
is fully implemented and has been tested in the
robotic soccer domain, a complex, multi-agent
framework. This paper presents the algorithmic
details of TPOT-RL as well as empirical results
demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed
multi-agent learning approach with learned features.
