Review for NeurIPS paper: Learning Multi-Agent Communication through Structured Attentive Reasoning

Neural Information Processing Systems 

All 4 reviewers suggest that this paper is above the acceptance threshold. After reading the reviews and author response, I will recommend acceptance with a note (see bellow). Reviewers agree that the idea of filtering what information from other agents to consider within a multi-agent setup, while not new, is an important area of research, especially as the number of agents and the complexity of the environments grows. All reviewers agree that this is a sound submission, with good experimental results and comprehensive comparisons with previous work. Some concerns were raised, but the author response did a good job in addressing many of those.
