A long-term goal of language agents is to learn and improve through their own experience, ultimately outperforming humans in complex, real-world tasks. However, training agents from experience data with reinforcement learning remains…

Game theory has many limitations implicit in its application. By utilizing multiagent modeling, it is possible to solve a number of problems that are unsolvable using traditional game theory. In this paper reinforcement learning is applied…
