Domain learning naming game for color categorization

چکیده
Naming game simulates the evolution of vocabulary in a population of agents. Through pairwise interactions in the games, agents acquire a set of vocabulary in their memory for object naming. The existing model confines to a one-to-one mapping between a name and an object. Focus is usually put onto name consensus in the population rather than knowledge learning in agents, and hence simple learning model is usually adopted. However, the cognition system of human being is much more complex and knowledge is usually presented in a complicated form. Therefore, in this work, we extend the agent learning model and design a new game to incorporate domain learning, which is essential for more complicated form of knowledge. In particular, we demonstrate the evolution of color categorization and naming in a population of agents. We incorporate the human perceptive model into the agents and introduce two new concepts, namely subjective perception and subliminal stimulation, in domain learning. Simulation results show that, even without any supervision or pre-requisition, a consensus of a color naming system can be reached in a population solely via the interactions. Our work confirms the importance of society interactions in color categorization, which is a long debate topic in human cognition. Moreover, our work also demonstrates the possibility of cognitive system development in autonomous intelligent agents.

Signatures of Domain-General Categorization Mechanisms in Color Word Learning
Learning color words is a difficult problem for young children. Because color is abstract, this difficulty has been attributed to challenges in integrating over heterogeneous objects to discover color as a dimension of reference. On this account, learning that color words refer to the color dimension is slow, but subsequently mapping these words to particular shades is fast. Recent work suggest...
متن کاملColor Categorization in Bilingual Populations: Korean-English Bilinguals
Empirical research on the influence of language on cognition often focuses on the domain of color categorization. With a global increase in bilingualism, investigating how semantic information is cognitively processed by speakers of two languages is especially important. For example, it remains uncertain whether a bilingual’s sensory representation of color appearance similarity is affected by ...
متن کاملEvolutionary model of the concepts of ‘color chip’ and ‘color category’ in Evolutionary models of color categorization based on discrimination
Komarova et al. (2007) showed that a color naming system could be evolved by combining perceptual discrimination, basic pragmatic constraints on communication, and simple learning rules. Their system relied on a fixed number of color chips and of color categories. Here, I construct an evolutionary game theory model where the equivalent concept of the former and the number of the latter are emer...

Specifying the factors that contribute to the universality of color categorization across individuals and cultures is a longstanding and still controversial issue in psychology, linguistics, and anthropology. This article approaches this issue through the simulated evolution of color lexicons. It is shown that the combination of a minimal perceptual psychology of discrimination, simple pragmati...

The evolution of color categorization systems is investigated by simulating categorization games played by a population of artificial agents. The constraints placed on individual agent’s perception and cognition are minimal and involve limited color discriminability and learning through reinforcement. The main dynamic mechanism for population evolution is pragmatic in nature: There is a pragmat...
