Review for NeurIPS paper: Multi-agent active perception with prediction rewards
–Neural Information Processing Systems
Weaknesses: The paper is well written and easy to follow. The problem is active perception is also interesting. There are a few areas where more clarification is needed as pointed below: -- The authors have highlighted a number of previous models for the problem of active perception such as Dec-\rhoPOMDP, POMDP-IR etc. Given the focus on converting this problem to a decentralized framework, it is not clearly conveyed why decentralizing the problem is significant? There are hints available in the paper such as less communication overhead, but there is no empirical evidence presented towards justifying decentralized approaches over such previous approaches (e.g., how much communication overhead is reduced) -- The technical approach presented by the authors is elegant and simple, but it is essentially a heuristic approach. The bound provided in theorem 1 would seem to be loose in the worst case (and its values in experiments is not shown).
