We investigate the challenge of selecting the most effective teams in multiagent adversarial games, where agents need to collaborate and adapt to each other. Our proposed solution, BERTeam, leverages a transformer-based deep neural network trained using Masked Language Model techniques to identify the best team composition from a pool of trained individual players. This is combined with coevolutionary deep reinforcement learning, which trains diverse players for selection. We test our approach in the Marine Capture-The-Flag game and observe that BERTeam learns non-trivial team compositions that perform well against unseen opponents. Notably, we find that BERTeam outperforms MCAA, a comparable algorithm that optimizes team selection.

Imagine playing a team sport where you need to work together with your friends to win. But what if you could choose the best players for your team? That’s exactly what this paper is about: finding the perfect team in a game where teams compete against each other. We developed an algorithm called BERTeam that helps choose the right players from a group of trained individuals. We tested it in a game called Marine Capture-The-Flag and found that our algorithm can pick teams that do well even against opponents they’ve never seen before. It’s better than another similar approach we tried!
