Evidence that visual communication preceded written language and provided a basis for it
goes back to prehistory, in forms such as cave and rock paintings depicting traces of our …

Communication is compositional if complex signals can be represented as a combination of
simpler subparts. In this paper, we theoretically show that inductive biases on both the …

The field of emergent language represents a novel area of research within the domain of
artificial intelligence, particularly within the context of multi-agent reinforcement learning …

Leveraging large language models (LLMs) for complex natural language tasks typically
requires long-form prompts to convey detailed requirements and information, which results …

In order to communicate, humans flatten a complex representation of ideas and their
attributes into a single word or a sentence. We investigate the impact of representation …

Emergent language is unique among fields within the discipline of machine learning for its
open-endedness, not obviously presenting well-defined problems to be solved. As a result …

This paper studies the evolving communication between two agents, a listener and speaker,
in a plan execution task in which the speaker needs to communicate the plan to the acting …

Abstract Machine learning has proven extremely useful in many applications in recent years.
However, a lot of these success stories stem from evaluating the algorithms on data very …
