The current mainstream approach to train natural language systems is to expose them to large amounts of text. This passive learning is problematic if we are interested in developing interactive machines, such as conversational agents. We propose a framework for language learning that relies on multi-agent communication. We study this learning in the context of referential games. In these games, a sender and a receiver see a pair of images. The sender is told one of them is the target and is allowed to send a message from a fixed, arbitrary vocabulary to the receiver. The receiver must rely on this message to identify the target. Thus, the agents develop their own language interactively out of the need to communicate. We show that two networks with simple configurations are able to learn to coordinate in the referential game. We further explore how to make changes to the game environment to cause the "word meanings" induced in the game to better reflect intuitive semantic properties of the images. In addition, we present a simple strategy for grounding the agents' code into natural language. Both of these are necessary steps towards developing machines that are able to communicate with humans productively.

Provably Optimal Learning Algorithms for Assistance Games
Decentralized poly-time algorithms achieve (1-1/e)-approximate assistance regret Õ(T^{3/4}) (or Õ(√T) with shared randomness) for online assistance games, and better approximation is intractable.

Promoting Coordination through Policy Regularization in Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning
Adding mutual-action-predictability (TeamReg) or synchronized sub-policy switching (CoachReg) as a training-time objective improves cooperative multi-agent RL performance over MADDPG baselines on several sparse-reward tasks.

AI-AI Esthetic Collaboration with Explicit Semiotic Awareness and Emergent Grammar Development
A human-moderated chat in which two LLMs invent decorative symbols and co-write a poem is reported as evidence of genuine AI-AI esthetic collaboration.
