Qualitative Examples from a Multi-Agent Pragmatic Language Emergence Study

9.5 KB of qualitative examples from a computational model of emergent communication. The dataset, authored by Kristina Kobrock and last updated in May 2026, supports a study on pragmatic mechanisms in referential communication and categorization. It models the tradeoff between speaker and listener utilities in a multi-agent framework.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the efficiency of emerging languages based on the described speaker-listener utility tradeoff.
• Studying the role of shared context in shaping referential expressions and categorization.
• Investigating the impact of utility-based pragmatics, as modeled by the Rational Speech Acts framework, on linguistic efficiency.
• Comparing language properties that emerged with versus without contextual information during training.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 9.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable scope for qualitative analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
