A New Approach to Class Formation in Multi-Agent Simulations of Language Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
Multi-agent models of language evolution usually involve agents giving names to internal independently constructed categories. We present an approach in which the creation of categories is part of the language formation process itself. When an agent does not have a word for a particular object it is allowed to use the existing name of another object, close to the original one as defined by an analogy function. In this way, the names in the shared lexicon that has evolved in a collective way, directly yield the different object classes. We present the results of several simulations using this model showing under what conditions the agents will develop meaningful classes. We also examine the effects of an influx and outflux of agents. Finally we discuss the prospects for models in which the classes would constitute relevant complex taxonomies.

Automatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach
Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
متن کاملA multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory
This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...
متن کاملImpact of socio-cultural evolution on the determining the middle-class housing typology (in the middle and final period of second Pahlavi)
Introduction: Institutional housing is multi-functional that in order to form it different dimensions must be considered. One of the most important of these dimensions is the social class of its inhabitants. Its social and cultural factors influence the formation of social classes in any society. The modernization of government in the Pahlavi era led to the formation of a new middle class along...

In the present paper, a class of hybrid, nonlinear and non linearizable dynamic systems is considered. The noted dynamic system is generalized to a multi-agent configuration. The interaction of agents is presented based on graph theory and finally, an interaction tensor defines the multi-agent system in leader-follower consensus in order to design a desirable controller for the noted system. A...

A research was conducted to form an approach to the design and implementation of a multi-agent control system of smart elements for a “Smart house”. The system was built on the example of three intelligent robots. In the architecture of the system under development, the main part is the subject-independent multi-agent kernel, which includes the following basic components: direct access service,...
