Language Acquisition through Intention Reading and Pattern Finding

no code implementations COLING 2022 Jens Nevens, Jonas Doumen, Paul Van Eecke, Katrien Beuls

One of AI’s grand challenges consists in the development of autonomous agents with communication systems offering the robustness, flexibility and adaptivity found in human languages.

Language Acquisition

Decentralised Emergence of Robust and Adaptive Linguistic Conventions in Populations of Autonomous Agents Grounded in Continuous Worlds

no code implementations16 Jan 2024 Jérôme Botoko Ekila, Jens Nevens, Lara Verheyen, Katrien Beuls, Paul Van Eecke

This paper introduces a methodology through which a population of autonomous agents can establish a linguistic convention that enables them to refer to arbitrary entities that they observe in their environment.

Construction Grammar and Artificial Intelligence

no code implementations31 Aug 2023 Katrien Beuls, Paul Van Eecke

In this chapter, we argue that it is highly beneficial for the contemporary construction grammarian to have a thorough understanding of the strong relationship between the research fields of construction grammar and artificial intelligence.

Usage-based learning of grammatical categories

no code implementations14 Apr 2022 Luc Steels, Paul Van Eecke, Katrien Beuls

Human languages use a wide range of grammatical categories to constrain which words or phrases can fill certain slots in grammatical patterns and to express additional meanings, such as tense or aspect, through morpho-syntactic means.

A Practical Guide to Studying Emergent Communication through Grounded Language Games

no code implementations20 Apr 2020 Jens Nevens, Paul Van Eecke, Katrien Beuls

The question of how an effective and efficient communication system can emerge in a population of agents that need to solve a particular task attracts more and more attention from researchers in many fields, including artificial intelligence, linguistics and statistical physics.

Re-conceptualising the Language Game Paradigm in the Framework of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations9 Apr 2020 Paul Van Eecke, Katrien Beuls

In this paper, we formulate the challenge of re-conceptualising the language game experimental paradigm in the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL).

Evaluation Strategies for Computational Construction Grammars

no code implementations COLING 2016 T{\^a}nia Marques, Katrien Beuls

Despite the growing number of Computational Construction Grammar implementations, the field is still lacking evaluation methods to compare grammar fragments across different platforms.
