Deep multi-intentional inverse reinforcement learning for cognitive multi-function radar inverse cognition (2408.08478v2)

Abstract: In recent years, radar systems have advanced significantly, offering environmental adaptation and multi-task capabilities. These developments pose new challenges for electronic intelligence (Elint) and electronic support measures (ESM), which need to identify and interpret sophisticated radar behaviors. This paper introduces a Deep Multi-Intentional Inverse Reinforcement Learning (DMIIRL) method for the identification and inverse cognition of cognitive multi-function radars (CMFR). Traditional Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) methods primarily target single reward functions, but the complexity of CMFRs necessitates multiple reward functions to fully encapsulate their behavior. To this end, we develop a method that integrates IRL with Expectation-Maximization (EM) to concurrently handle multiple reward functions, offering better trajectory clustering and reward function estimation. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over baseline approaches.
