Multi-Agent Cooperation and the Emergence of (Natural) Language (2016, background): “There is a rich tradition of linguistic and cognitive studies using similar setups (e.g., Briscoe, 2002; Cangelosi & Parisi, 2002; Spike et al., 2016; Steels & Loetzsch, 2012).”
Emergence of Linguistic Communication from Referential Games with Symbolic and Pixel Input (2018, methodology): “The referential game is a variant of the Lewis signaling game (Lewis, 1969), which has been extensively used in linguistic and cognitive studies in the context of language evolution (e.g., Briscoe, 2002; Cangelosi & Parisi, 2002; Steels & Loetzsch, 2012; Spike et al., 2016; Lazaridou et al., 2017).”
Learning from Unscripted Deictic Gesture and Language for Human-Robot Interactions (2014, background): “…acquisition of language is to consider how infants (McGregor et al. 2009; Vollmer et al. 2009) learn symbols and the meanings of gestures; another is to apply the same evolutionary concepts of language to a robotics platform and study the resulting behavior (Steels 2001; Steels and Loetzsch 2012).”
Emergent Language in a Multi-Modal, Multi-Step Referential Game (2017, background): “The other line of research focuses more on investigating and analyzing the emergence of language in (cooperative) multi-agent referential games [5–7], where one agent (the sender) must communicate what it sees using some discrete emergent language, while the other agent (the receiver) is tasked…”
Minimal Requirements for the Emergence of Learned Signaling (2014, methodology): “In models such as that of Steels and Loetzsch (2012), the interaction has a more ﬁne-grained realization which is incorporated into the model, making the extra sources of information potentially usable.”
Iterated learning for emergent systematicity in VQA (2021, background): “In these games, one agent must describe what it saw to another agent, which is tasked with figuring out what the first agent saw (Lewis, 2008; Skyrms, 2010; Steels & Loetzsch, 2012).”
