Overview
What this challenge is about.
Train Cooperative Agents with Multi-Agent RL. Expert-level challenge in research. Conducting rigorous research on real questions, earn a blockchain-verified ...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Benchmark cooperative MARL methods (IPPO, MAPPO, monolithic) across agent counts with proper statistics and write the workshop report.
This is not a research exercise. It is the work a researcher does to produce findings that withstand scrutiny. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates summarize papers and none who have produced original findings under expert review.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Implement CTDE and fully-decentralized MARL methods
- Run a fair MARL benchmark with proper statistics
- Analyze how methods scale with agent count
- Write a workshop-style research report
