Abstract
The paper describes a mechanism whereby agents generate perceptual distinctions through a series of adaptive discrimination games and share these distinctions through adaptive language games. Results from computer simulations as well as experiments on robotic agents are presented.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
