Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Training algorithm
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain an explicit statement or link indicating the availability of open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We evaluate our proposed approach on three benchmark multi-agent tasks: Partial Observation Cooperative Predator Prey, Cooperative Navigation, and Cooperative Line Control. The benchmarks environment is implemented in a Multi-Agent Particle Environment ((Lowe et al. 2017)),
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions training and evaluating on benchmark multi-agent tasks but does not specify exact train/validation/test dataset splits or percentages.
Hardware Specification Yes All algorithms are trained in a Linux server with a 2.30 GHz Xeon(R) CPU and two Nvidia 4090 graphics cards.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions various algorithms and environments (e.g., MADDPG, Multi-Agent Particle Environment) but does not provide specific version numbers for software dependencies or libraries like Python, PyTorch, etc.
Experiment Setup Yes The learning rates of the critic network and the actor network are set to 0.001. The discount factor γ is set to 0.95. Each episode lasts up to 25 timesteps. To estimate the transition marginal distribution p(sj t+1 si t), the number K of per Monte-Carlo sample is set to 64.
