This Project Grant award of $450,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research to develop novel specification-guided multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approaches. The project aims to construct more scalable, interpretable, and safer multi-agent systems through the integration of formal methods and MARL. Key research objectives include: (A) optimally decomposing signal temporal logic specifications and assigning the resulting parts to agents; (B) mining specifications from MARL policy trajectories to analyze and explain emergent coordinated behaviors; and (C) enabling the transfer of MARL policies across tasks through simultaneous specification inference and policy learning. The award was granted to Mississippi State University, a prominent public land-grant research institution, and will run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
