Breakthrough the Suboptimal Stable Point in Value-Factorization-Based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Value factorization, a popular paradigm in MARL, faces significant theoretical and algorithmic bottlenecks: its tendency to converge to suboptimal solutions remains poorly understood and unsolved. Theoretically, existing analyses fail to explain this due to their primary focus on the optimal case. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel theoretical concept: the stable point, which characterizes the potential convergence of value factorization in general cases. Through an analysis of stable point distributions in existing methods, we reveal that non-optimal stable points are the primary cause of poor performance. However, algorithmically, making the optimal action the unique stable point is nearly infeasible. In contrast, iteratively filtering suboptimal actions by rendering them unstable emerges as a more practical approach for global optimality. Inspired by this, we propose a novel Multi-Round Value Factorization (MRVF) framework. Specifically, by measuring a non-negative payoff increment relative to the previously selected action, MRVF transforms inferior actions into unstable points, thereby driving each iteration toward a stable point with a superior action. Experiments on challenging benchmarks, including predator-prey tasks and StarCraft II Multi-Agent Challenge (SMAC), validate our analysis of stable points and demonstrate the superiority of MRVF over state-of-the-art methods.
OmniVideo-R1: Reinforcing Audio-visual Reasoning with Query Intention and Modality Attention
While humans perceive the world through diverse modalities that operate synergistically to support a holistic understanding of their surroundings, existing omnivideo models still face substantial challenges on audio-visual understanding tasks. In this paper, we propose OmniVideo-R1, a novel reinforced framework that improves mixed-modality reasoning. OmniVideo-R1 empowers models to "think with omnimodal cues" by two key strategies: (1) query-intensive grounding based on self-supervised learning paradigms; and (2) modality-attentive fusion built upon contrastive learning paradigms. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that OmniVideo-R1 consistently outperforms strong baselines, highlighting its effectiveness and robust generalization capabilities.
