Abstract

The problem of multiagent learning (or MAL) is concerned with the study of how agents can learn and adapt in the presence of other agents that are simultaneously adapting. The problem is often studied in the stylized settings provided by repeated matrix games. The goal of this book is to develop MAL algorithms for such a setting that achieve a new set of objectives which have not been previously achieved.
