Syntax out of Learning: The Cultural Evolution of Structured Communication in a Population of Induction Algorithms

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Spontaneous evolution of linguistic structure-an iterated learning model of the emergence of regularity and irregularity (2001, background): “Apart from the meaning space, the various components of the simulation reported in this paper are the same as those reported in [7], [9], [10].”
Progress in the Simulation of Emergent Communication and Language (2003, background): “…may involve not only the structure in the environment , but key nonlinguistic cognitive constraints (e.g., memory limitations, attention span, poverty of input) and production and comprehension constraints (e.g., Hare & Elman, 1995; Kirby & Hurford, 1997; Kirby, 1999; Kaplan, 2000; Brighton, 2002).”
