Fast Peer Adaptation with Context-aware Exploration

Fast adapting to unknown peers (partners or opponents) with different strategies is a key challenge in multi-agent games. To do so, it is crucial for the agent to efficiently probe and identify the peer's strategy, as this is the prerequisite for carrying out the best response in adaptation. However, it is difficult to explore the strategies of unknown peers, especially when the games are partially observable and have a long horizon.
