Title: Learning Partial Action Replacement in Offline MARL

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.28573v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) faces a critical challenge: the joint action space grows exponentially with the number of agents, making dataset coverage exponentially sparse and out-of-distribution (OOD) joint actions unavoidable. Partial Action Replacement (PAR) mitigates this by anchoring a subset of agents to dataset actions, but existing approach relies on enumerating multiple subset configurations at high computational cos
