• Abstract: Social network structure is one of the key determinants of human language evolution. Previous work has shown that the network of social interactions shapes decentralized learning in human groups, leading to the emergence of different kinds of communicative conventions. We examined the effects of social network organization on the properties of communication systems emerging in decentralized, multi-agent reinforcement learning communities. We found that the global connectivity of a social network drives the convergence of populations on shared and symmetric communication systems, preventing the agents from forming many local "dialects". Moreover, the agent's degree is inversely related to the consistency of its use of communicative conventions. These results show the importance of the basic properties of social network structure on reinforcement communication learning and suggest a new interpretation of findings on human convergence on word conventions.

  This research harmonizes concepts from sociometry and neural message passing to analyze and infer the behavior of dynamic systems. We propose ODNet, a novel message passing scheme incorporating bounded confidence, to refine the influence weight of local nodes for message propagation. We show that ODNet enhances prediction performance across various graph types and alleviates oversmoothing issues.

  We present the first rigorous vision of a scalable end-to-end semantic communication network. We first discuss how the design of semantic communication networks requires a move from data-driven networks towards knowledge-driven ones. By using semantic representation and languages, we show that the traditional transmitter and receiver now become a teacher and apprentice.

  We introduce the collaborative multi-object navigation task CoMON. In this task, an oracle agent has detailed environment information in the form of a map. It communicates with a navigator agent that perceives the environment visually and is tasked to find a sequence of goals. We show that the emergent communication can be grounded to the agent observations and the spatial structure of the 3D environment.
