Query: On Decentralized Estimation with Active Queries   We consider the problem of decentralized 20 questions with noise for multiple
players/agents under the minimum entropy criterion in the setting of stochastic
search over a parameter space, with application to target localization. We
propose decentralized extensions of the active query-based stochastic search
strategy that combines elements from the 20 questions approach and social
learning. We prove convergence to correct consensus on the value of the
parameter. This framework provides a flexible and tractable mathematical model
for decentralized parameter estimation systems based on active querying. We
illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed decentralized
collaborative 20 questions algorithm for random network topologies with
information sharing.
