The Grammar of Emergent Languages
Oskar van der Wal, Silvan de Boer, Elia Bruni +1
In this paper, we consider the syntactic properties of languages emerged in referential games, using unsupervised grammar induction (UGI) techniques originally designed to analyse…
Mechanisms for Handling Nested Dependencies in Neural-Network Language Models and Humans
Yair Lakretz, Dieuwke Hupkes, Alessandra Vergallito +3
Recursive processing in sentence comprehension is considered a hallmark of human linguistic abilities. However, its underlying neural mechanisms remain largely unknown. We studied…
Internal and external pressures on language emergence: least effort, object constancy and frequency
Diana Rodríguez Luna, Edoardo Maria Ponti, Dieuwke Hupkes +1
In previous work, artificial agents were shown to achieve almost perfect accuracy in referential games where they have to communicate to identify images. Nevertheless, the resultin…
Co-evolution of language and agents in referential games
Gautier Dagan, Dieuwke Hupkes, Elia Bruni
Referential games offer a grounded learning environment for neural agents which accounts for the fact that language is functionally used to communicate. However, they do not take i…
