Coordination and communication in deep multi-agent reinforcement learning by Schroeder de Witt, CA

“…To evaluate the performance of QMIX, we develop a novel benchmark suite, the StarCraft Multi-Agent Challenge (SMAC), which features a variety of discrete-action cooperative control tasks in StarCraft II unit micromanagement. Unlike pre-existing toy environments, SMAC scenarios feature diverse dynamics owing to a large number of different unit types and sophisticated in-built enemy heuristics. …”

Effects of Research and Development on Total Factor Productivity in Iran’s Factory Industries by Ahmad Reza Sargolzehi, Mohammad Nabi Shahiki Tash, Safieh Kordsangani

“…Findings According to the statistics of 2010, the industries of body manufacturing (coachwork) for motor vehicles and trailer and half-trailer manufacturing had the highest R & D and the industry of toy manufacturing had the lowest R & D. Industries which are capital-intensive experienced more R & D while those which are labor-intensive had lower R & D. …”
