Job Summary

PhD thesis writing on "Collective Dreaming: a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm based on cooperative latent imagination"

Job Description

The PhD thesis should develop research on the design of an algorithm that adapts the latent imagination technique (or the more general concept of latent spaces) to a collaborative multi-agent approach, in such a way that all agents share these "imagined experiences" with each other, accelerating the collective learning process, sharing the results obtained by comparing experiences with the real world, and therefore reaching the optimal solution in less time.

The outcome of the research would consist of a new algorithm that we could call "cooperative latent imagination" together with an experimental implementation of the algorithm that would allow its validation in a smart industry context, namely scenarios with multiple robots and systems working cooperatively.
The main risks of the research are associated with the challenge of designing the algorithm that applies the "latent imagination" technique to carry out the learning of multiple agents in a coordinated manner, hoping that the result will converge cohesively after numerous iterations towards the optimal solution, which would be the proposed scenario.
