Training agents to invent a language
Luc Steels was doing this years ago (since mid-1990s IIRC):https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=luc+steels+inve...Ah, yes, I see that a paper referenced on the website:"A Paradigm for Situated and Goal-Driven Language Learning
Jon Gauthier, Igor Mordatch"grants a footnote to one of Steels' 2012 publications, stating:"A related line of work in evolutionary linguistics constructs a similar language learning scenario entirely without fixed-language agents (Smith et al., 2003; Steels, 2012; Kirby et al., 2014). All of the agents in these environments construct a novel language simultaneously to accomplish some shared task. This is an interesting separate line of research, but ultimately a separate task from the understanding and acquisition problems discussed in this abstract."
