Vogt, P. and F. Divina (2005) Language evolution in large populations of autonomous agents: issues in scaling In Proceedings of AISB 2005: Social Intelligence and Interaction in Animals, Robots and Agents

Abstract In this paper we discuss issues relating to modelling language evolution in large populations of autonomous agents that are situated in a realistic environment where they have to evolve and learn means to survive for extended periods of time. As we intend to build such a model in relation to the recently started New Ties project, we identify three major problems that are expected for such a model. The paper proposes some solutions and discusses future directions.
