Emergent functional grammar for space
This research was performed at the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris and Tokyo. Additional funding came from the FP7 EU project ALEAR and the FP6 EU project ECAgents.
The emergence of internal agreement systems
This research was conducted at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, financed by a strategic basic research grant (IWT-489) from the agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT), and at the Sony…
The Naming Game.
Let us imagine a language . . . The language is meant to serve for communication between a builder A and an assistant B. A is building with building-stones; there are blocks, pillars, slabs and…

    Language Grounding in Robots
  • 2012
This chapter introduces a new experimental paradigm for studying issues in the grounding of language and robots, and the integration of all aspects of intelligence into a single system. The paradigm…
Evolutionary Naming Game: an Agent-based Model for the Emergence of Language
Computational models have been the standard avenue of research into the emergence and evolution of language in recent decades. One such model, the Evolutionary Naming Game, combines genetic…
The evolution of case systems for marking event structure
Case has fascinated linguists for centuries without however revealing its most important secrets. This paper offers operational explanations for case through language game experiments in which…
Combining Evolutionary Algorithms and Language Games to Simulate Language Emergence
TLDR
This thesis is focused on naming games and other language games and how they can be used to simulate the emergence of human languages and a specific naming game model proposed in the literature is successfully reimplemented.

TLDR
The main finding is that the parameter modulates the appearance of drastic transitions in the consensus of the entire population of agents.
Multi-Agent Cooperation and the Emergence of (Natural) Language
TLDR
It is shown that two networks with simple configurations are able to learn to coordinate in the referential game and how to make changes to the game environment to cause the "word meanings" induced in the game to better reflect intuitive semantic properties of the images.
A Practical Guide to Studying Emergent Communication through Grounded Language Games
TLDR
A high-level robot interface that extends the Babel software system is introduced, presenting for the first time a toolkit that provides flexible modules for dealing with each subtask involved in running advanced grounded language game experiments.

A Self-Organizing Spatial Vocabulary
TLDR
This paper reports on a computational experiment in which a group of distributed agents develop ways to identify each other using names or spatial descriptions, and shows that the proposed mechanism copes with the acquisition of an existing vocabulary by new agents entering the community and with an expansion of the set of meanings.
Conceptual grounding in simulation studies of language acquisition
TLDR
How the grounding of words and sentences in conceptualized visual scenes permits the system to construct the appropriate relations between words and their referents, and sentences and theirs in the initial phases of acquisition of syntactic structure is demonstrated.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that SDR-4X can spontaneously and passively interact with a human and achieve three basic requirements, which are the concurrent evaluation of the situation of each behavior module, concurrent execution of multiple behavior modules, and preemption.
