NeLLCom-Lex: A Neural-agent Framework to Study the Interplay between Lexical Systems and Language Use (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Lexical semantic change has been investigated with observational and experimental methods, but observational methods cannot get at causal mechanisms. |
| Approach: | They introduce a neural-agent framework designed to simulate semantic change by first grounding agents in a real lexical system and then manipulating their communicative needs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework simulates the evolution of a lexical system within a single generation by grounding agents in a real lexicon and manipulating their communicative needs. |
