Title: A Computational Framework for Norm-Aware Reasoning in Autonomous Systems   Abstract: Autonomous agents are increasingly deployed in complex social environments where they not only have to reason about their domain goals but also about norms that can impose constraints on task performance. Integrating task planning with norm aware reasoning is a challenging problem due to [...]

Title: Learning Transferable Cooperative Behavior in Multi-Agent Teams   Abstract: We study the emergence of cooperative behavior and communication protocols in multi-agent teams, for collaboratively accomplishing tasks like coverage control and formation control for swarms. Using graph neural networks to model inter-agent communications, we present state-of-the-art results in a fully decentralized execution framework which assumes [...]
