Neural MMO: Massively Multiagent Simulation and Learning
Neural MMO is a massively multi-agent environment for reinforcement learning research. It is designed to push the boundaries of environment complexity while maintaining computationally efficiency for academic research. Agents in Neural MMO can forage for a variety of resources, engage in strategic …

The Neural MMO Platform for Massively Multiagent Research
Neural MMO is a computationally accessible research platform that combines large agent populations, long time horizons, open-ended tasks, and modular game systems. Existing environments feature subsets of these properties, but Neural MMO is the first to combine them all. We present Neural MMO as …

Convergence Rates of Gradient Descent-ascent Dynamics under Computation Constraints in Solving Min-max Optimization
… method for solving the Min-max optimization (MMO) problems under computation constraints. In particular, we focus our study on two main classes of MMO: a continuous-time variant of the centralized Min-max problem where the GDA update only has access to the gradients of the objective function …
