Partner-Aware Hierarchical Skill Discovery for Robust Human-AI Collaboration

ArXi:2605.24352v1 Announce Type: new Multi-agent collaboration, especially in human-AI teaming, requires agents that can adapt to novel partners with diverse and dynamic behaviors. Conventional Deep Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (DHRL) methods focus on agent-centric rewards and overlook partner behavior, leading to shortcut learning, where skills exploit spurious information instead of adapting to partners' dynamic behaviors. This limitation undermines agents' ability to adapt and coordinate effectively with novel partners. We.
