STAIRS-Former: Spatio-Temporal Attention with Interleaved Recursive Structure Transformer for Offline Multi-task Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.11691v1 Announce Type: new Offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) with multi-task datasets is challenging due to varying numbers of agents across tasks and the need to generalize to unseen scenarios. Prior works employ transformers with observation tokenization and hierarchical skill learning to address these issues. However, they underutilize the transformer attention mechanism for inter-agent coordination and rely on a single history token, which limits their ability to capture long-horizon temporal dependencies in partially observable MARL settings.
