Reviews: Learning Multiagent Communication with Backpropagation

The model is a deep network which consists of a stack of layers, with parameter sharing between modules of a same layer. This parameter sharing allows the number of agents to vary during the task. Also, it allows to drastically reduce the number of parameters to be learned. The key idea of the paper is to use the output of every module of a given layer to build the communication input for the next layer. While this appears to obtain interesting results in the reported experiments, I find this proposal very straightforward and poorly innovative, as it corresponds to a quiet classical neural network structure.
