A challenge in multi-agent reinforcement learning is to be able to generalize over intractable state-action spaces. This work achieves generalisation in state-action space over unexplored state-action pairs by modelling the transition and reward functions as tensors of low CP-rank. Initial experiments show that using tensor decompositions in a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm can lead to much faster convergence if the true transition and reward functions are indeed of low rank.
