Our paper got into NeurIPS!

🚀 Excited to announce that our paper, “Speaking Your Language: Spatial Relationships in Interpretable Emergent Communication,” has been accepted to NeurIPS 2024 in Vancouver, CA! 🎉

In this work, we explore how agents develop languages to express spatial relationships in their observations. Using normalized pointwise mutual information, we demonstrate that these emergent languages include both non-compositional and compositional spatial references, and notably, these components are human-interpretable!

A big thanks to my co-authors, Adam Sobey, Federico Cerutti, and Tim Norman, for their invaluable support, and to the University of Southampton and MINDS!
