As a challenging multi-player card game, DouDizhu has recently drawn much attention for analyzing competition and collaboration in imperfect-information games. In this paper, we propose PerfectDou, a state-of-the-art DouDizhu AI system that dominates the game, in an actor-critic framework with a proposed technique named perfect information distillation.

If the reward function does not cover all important aspects of the task, the agent could easily learn undesirable behaviors [4].

Learning in real-world multiagent tasks is challenging due to the usual partial observability ofeach agent. Previous efforts alleviate thepartial observability by historical hidden states with Recurrent Neural Networks, however, they do not consider themultiagent characters thateither themultiagent observationconsists ofanumber ofobject entities orthe action space shows clear entity interactions.
