ReferentialGym: A Nomenclature and Framework for Language Emergence & Grounding in (Visual) Referential Games

Understand

Natural languages are powerful tools wielded by human beings to communicate information and co-operate towards common goals.

• Their values lie in some main properties like compositionality, hierarchy and recurrent syntax, which computational linguists have been researching the emergence of in artificial languages induced by language games.
