An Incremental Iterated Response Model of Pragmatics
Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Noah D. Goodman, Christopher Potts
Recent Iterated Response (IR) models of pragmatics conceptualize language use as a recursive process in which agents reason about each other to increase communicative efficiency. T…
The division of labor in communication: Speakers help listeners account for asymmetries in visual perspective
Robert D. Hawkins, Hyowon Gweon, Noah D. Goodman
Recent debates over adults' theory of mind use have been fueled by surprising failures of perspective-taking in communication, suggesting that perspective-taking can be relatively…
Planning, Inference and Pragmatics in Sequential Language Games
Fereshte Khani, Noah D. Goodman, Percy Liang
We study sequential language games in which two players, each with private information, communicate to achieve a common goal. In such games, a successful player must (i) infer the…
Pragmatically Informative Image Captioning with Character-Level Inference
Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Noah Goodman, Christopher Potts
We combine a neural image captioner with a Rational Speech Acts (RSA) model to make a system that is pragmatically informative: its objective is to produce captions that are not me…
Evaluating Compositionality in Sentence Embeddings
Ishita Dasgupta, Demi Guo, Andreas Stuhlmüller +2
An important challenge for human-like AI is compositional semantics. Recent research has attempted to address this by using deep neural networks to learn vector space embeddings of…
