Abstract

In many Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), self-interested agents need to cooperate in order to maximize their own utilities in time. The goal of this work is to improve cooperation among agents that use best-response Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms (Q-Learning), by the introduction of two new principles (Change or Learn Fast and Change and Keep) that foster the reaching of Pareto efficient stable outcomes.
