On the Relationship between Zipf’s Law of Abbreviation and Interfering Noise in Emergent Languages (2021.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have shown that emergent languages do not obey ZLA when neural agents play a signaling game. |
| Approach: | They propose to add an explicit penalty on word lengths to a signaling game to simulate a ZLA-like tendency when interfering noises are added to the agents' environment. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that the noise on a speaker is one of the factors for ZLA, while noise on the listener and a channel is not. |
