Signaling games with pattern recognition

Abstract

The classical model of signaling games assumes that the receiver exactly know the type space (private information) of the sender and be able to discriminate each type of the sender distinctly. However, the justification of this assumption is questionable. It is more reasonable to let the receiver recognize the pattern of the sender. In this paper, we investigate what happens if the assumption is relaxed. A framework of signaling games with pattern recognition and an example are given.
