PhD Scholarship in Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MADRL)
University of Warwick
Department of Statistics & WMG

Funding for: UK Students & EU Students
Funding amount: £15,285 stipend per annum, for 3.5 years
Placed On: 15th October 2021
Closes:  7th February 2022

As part of this PhD project, which is part of a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship, you contribute to the emerging area of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL ) with a view to unleashing its full potential. We will consider the cooperative MADRL problem, in which a system of several learning agents must jointly optimise a single reward signal – the team reward – accumulated over time.

You will have the opportunity to develop a general graph-based framework to facilitate efficient multi-agent communication, enable learning using sparse rewards and build a relational representation of the environment.

You will be joining a larger research team based at the University of Warwick and across the Department of Statistics and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group).

Candidates should have an MSc in Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering or similar quantitative background and very strong and demonstrable programming skills especially in Python.

For informal enquires please contact Professor Giovanni Montana: g.mo...@warwick.ac.uk.
