We present a model of pragmatic referring expression interpretation in a grounded communication task (identifying colors from descriptions) that draws upon predictions from two recurrent neural network classifiers, a speaker and a listener, unified by a recursive pragmatic reasoning framework.

We present a novel analysis of the dynamics of continuous interaction and signaling within rounds in a game of impure coordination. Expand

We characterize the statistical bootstrap for the estimation of information- theoretic quantities from data, with particular reference to its use in the study of large-scale social phenomena. Expand

We map path ensembles in a set of anatomical brain networks derived from diffusion imaging and tractography. Expand

In this paper, we address the methodological challenge of developing and conducting real-time behavioral game theory experiments on the web, thereby broadening access to online labor markets as well as allowing for participation through mobile devices. Expand

We show that utterance choice is affected by the contextual informativeness of a description, its length and frequency, and the typicality of the object for that description. Expand

In this work we explore how fine-grained differences between the shapes of common objects are expressed in language, grounded on 2D and/or 3D object representations. Expand
