Researchers have addressed the team selection problem in multiagent team formation using evolutionary computation-based approaches We consider the problem of team formation within multiagent adversarial [14, 31], albeit for non-adversarial settings like search and games. We propose BERTeam, a novel algorithm that uses reconnaissance. In this paper, we consider the use of a transformer a transformer-based deep neural network with Masked Language based neural network to predict the set of agents which form a team. Model training to select the best team of players from a trained population. We name this technique BERTeam, and investigate its suitability We integrate this with coevolutionary deep reinforcement for team formation in multiagent adversarial games.
