| Abstract | Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) sometimes needs a large amount of data to converge in the training procedure and in some cases, each action of the agent may produce regret. This barrier naturally motivates different data sets or environment owners to cooperate to share their knowledge and train their agents more efficiently. However, it raises privacy concerns if we directly merge the raw data from different owners. To solve this problem, we proposed a new Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture with both global NN and local NN, and a distributed training framework. We allow the global weights to be updated by all the collaborator agents while the local weights are only updated by the agent they belong to. In this way, we hope the global weighs can share the common knowledge among these collaborators while the local NN can keep the specialized properties and ensure the agent to be compatible with its specific environment. Experiments show that the framework can efficiently help agents in the same or similar environments to collaborate in their training process and gain a higher convergence rate and better performance. |
