abstract = { Our research on coaching refers to one autonomous
agent providing advice to another autonomous agent
about how to act. In past work, we dealt with
advice-receiving agents with fixed strategies, and
we now consider agents which are learning. Further,
we consider agents which have various limitations,
with the hypothesis that if the coach adapts its
advice to those limitations, more effective learning
will result. In this work, we systematically explore
the effect of various limitations upon the
effectiveness of the coach's advice. We state the
two learning problems faced by the coach and the
coached agents, and empirically study these problems
in a predator-prey environment. The coach has access
to optimal policies for the environment, and advises
the predator on which actions to take. We experiment
with limitations on the predator agent's actions,
the bandwidth between the coach and agent, and the
memory size of the agent. We analyze the results
which show that coaching can improve agent
performance in the face of all these limitations.},
