Expressivity of Emergent Languages is a Trade-off between Contextual Complexity and Unpredictability

ICLR 2022poster

Researchers are using deep learning models to explore the emergence of language in various language games, where agents interact and develop an emergent language to solve tasks. We focus on the factors that determine the expressivity of emergent languages, which reflects the amount of information ab…

Compositional languages emerge in a neural iterated learning model

ICLR 2020poster

The principle of compositionality, which enables natural language to represent complex concepts via a structured combination of simpler ones, allows us to convey an open-ended set of messages using a limited vocabulary. If compositionality is indeed a natural property of language, we may expect it t…
