چکیده

The paper investigates the dynamical properties of spatially distributed naming games. Naming games are interactions between two agents, a speaker and a hearer, in which the speaker identifies an object using a name. Adaptive naming games imply that speaker and hearer update their lexicons to become better in future games. By engaging in adaptive naming games, a coherent shared vocabulary arises through self-organisation in a population of distributed agents. When the agents are spatially distributed, diversity can be shown to arise, and changes in population contact lead to language changes.

Naming Games in Spatially-Embedded Random Networks

We investigate a prototypical agent-based model, the Naming Game, on random geometric networks. The Naming Game is a minimal model, employing local communications that captures the emergence of shared communication schemes (languages) in a population of autonomous semiotic agents. Implementing the Naming Games on random geometric graphs, local communications being local broadcasts, serves as a ...

Solving CSPs with Naming Games

Constraint solving problems (CSPs) represent a formalization of an important class of problems in computer science. We propose here a solving methodology based on the naming games. The naming game was introduced to represent N agents that have to bootstrap an agreement on a name to give to an object. The agents do not have a hierarchy and use a minimal protocol. Still they converge to a consist...

The Biological Basis of a Universal Constraint on Color Naming: Cone Contrasts and the Two-Way Categorization of Colors

Many studies have provided evidence for the existence of universal constraints on color categorization or naming in various languages, but the biological basis of these constraints is unknown. A recent study of the pattern of color categorization across numerous languages has suggested that these patterns tend to avoid straddling a region in color space at or near the border between the English...

Naming Games in Two-Dimensional and Small-World-Connected Random Geometric Networks

We investigate a prototypical agent-based model, the naming game, on two-dimensional random geometric networks. The naming game [Baronchelli, J. Stat. Mech.: Theory Exp.

Implementing the naming games with local b...
