Emergence of Grounded Compositional Language in Multi-Agent Populations (2017, background): “In such a pragmatic setting, language use for communication of spatial concepts has received particular attention in (Steels 1995; Ullman, Xu, and Goodman 2016).”
Statistical physics of social dynamics (2007, methodology): “The Artificial Life community has been the first in developing agent-based models (Maes, 1991; Meyer and Wilson, 1990; Steels, 1995; Varela and Bourgine, 1992; Weiss, 1999), but since then agent-based simulations have become an important tool in other scientific fields and in particular in the…”

Cooperative Multi-Agent Learning: The State of the Art (2005, background): “Similar approaches to evolving communication languages are presented in [215, 217, 218, 195, 57, 219, 220, 42].”
The Symbol Grounding Problem Has Been Solved : Or Maybe Not ? (2010, background): “And this is precisely what the language games experiments, from the first one reported in Steels (1995), have shown.”
Grounding adaptive language games in robotic agents (2006, background): “In the work of our group, we have focused first on the emergence of lexicons, initially just for naming individual objects by playing Naming Games [8].”
On the Impact of Robotics in Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences: From Insect Navigation to Human Cognitive Development (2010, unknown): “More recently, several groups of researchers have proposed that self-organization might not only be crucial for understanding basic biological mechanisms, but also for understanding human cognitive and social mechanisms, in particular language origins [64], [85], [112], [138].”
Agent-Based Models of Strategies for the Emergence and Evolution of Grammatical Agreement (2013, background): “Agents play a game of reference, also known as the Naming Game, which has been used in many earlier investigations of language dynamics [24,25].”
The Grounded Naming Game (2012, result): “It is therefore not surprising that the Naming Game, which was first introduced in (Steels, 1995), has become a model system for many studies in semiotic dynamics so that it has acquired a similar status as the Prisoner Dilemma game in agent-based socio-economic studies (Baronchelli et al., 2006).”
