Adaptive Human-AI Coordination via Hierarchical Action Disentanglement
The paper presents a new framework for adaptive human-AI coordination called Intrinsic Action Disentanglement (IAD). This framework utilizes deep hierarchical reinforcement learning to create partner-aware action sequences that improve collaboration with diverse partners. The results demonstrate that IAD outperforms existing methods in various settings, including interactions with unseen partners and real humans.
- ▪IAD is designed to adapt to different partner behaviors and skill levels.
- ▪The framework introduces an intrinsic reward to encourage distinct action distributions.
- ▪IAD was evaluated in the Overcooked-AI domain and showed improved coordination across multiple scenarios.

Existing methods often collapse to a single dominant behavior or learn poorly aligned skills, limiting effective coordination.
