The document summarizes recent research related to "theory of mind" in multi-agent reinforcement learning. It discusses three papers that propose methods for agents to infer the intentions of other agents by applying concepts from theory of mind:
1. The papers propose that in multi-agent reinforcement learning, being able to understand the intentions of other agents could help with cooperation and increase success rates.
2. The methods aim to estimate the intentions of other agents by modeling their beliefs and private information, using ideas from theory of mind in cognitive science. This involves inferring information about other agents that is not directly observable.
3. Bayesian inference is often used to reason about the beliefs, goals and private information of other agents based
