Abstract: What happens when symbolic knowledge is injected into the learning process of a sub-symbolic agent? What happens when symbolic and sub-symbolic agents collaborate? And what happens when they do not? This paper explores an innovative combination of symbolic – i.e., Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) – and sub-symbolic – i.e., Reinforcement Learning (RL) – agents. The combination is achieved at two different logical levels: at the single agent level, we show how symbolic knowledge may be exploited to drive the learning process of a RL agent; at the multiagent system level, we show how purely BDI agents and purely RL agents behave in the complex scenario of the ‘Among Us’ videogame, and – more interestingly – what happens when BDI agents compete against RL agents, and when BDI and RL agents cooperate to achieve their goals.
