The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Massachusetts Institute of Technology $500,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for collaborative research on reinforcement learning methods for imperfect-information games. The project develops theoretically sound, scalable policy-gradient algorithms and decision-time planning methods that enable deep reinforcement learning to operate in hidden-information settings, where decision makers must act without full knowledge of what others know. These methods address applications including autonomous driving, markets, and strategic negotiations. The work encompasses three components: developing sound policy-gradient algorithms for imperfect-information games; designing decision-time planning methods that reason about hidden information without enumerating all possible hidden states; and building open-source benchmarks and software for reliable evaluation. The resulting algorithms, code, and educational materials will be publicly disseminated to support future research and train students in building reliable AI systems for strategic decision making under uncertainty. Performance occurs in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2030.
