The behaviour of social insects such as bees and ants has influenced the development of
swarm robots. To enable robots to cooperate together, swarm robotics employs principles …

The paper surveys recent research on language evolution, focusing in particular on models
of cultural evolution and how they are being developed and tested using agent-based …

We introduce the first goal-driven training for visual question answering and dialog agents.
Specifically, we pose a cooperativeimage guessing'game between two agents--Qbot and …

Learning to communicate through interaction, rather than relying on explicit supervision, is
often considered a prerequisite for develo** a general AI. We study a setting where two …

Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of displaying a wide range of abilities that are
not directly connected with the task for which they are trained: predicting the next words of …

Since its inception in the mid-eighties, the field of construction grammar has been steadily
growing and constructionist approaches to language have by now become a mainstream …

Abstract Language dynamics is a rapidly growing field that focuses on all processes related
to the emergence, evolution, change and extinction of languages. Recently, the study of self …

This paper presents and defends the following theoretical arguments:(1) The uniqueness of
the human condition lies in the fact that only humans engage in collaborative computation …

A dynamic model and an agent-based simulation model implementing the assumptions of
the confrontational scavenging hypothesis on early protolanguage as an adaptive response …

The functions of dance and music in human evolution are a mystery. Current research on the
evolution of music has mainly focused on its melodic attribute which would have evolved …
