Learning to Ground Multi-Agent Communication with Autoencoders
Communication requires having a common language, a lingua franca, between agents. This language could emerge via a consensus process between agents, but this may require many generations of trial and error. Alternatively, the lingua franca can be given by the environment, where agents ground their …
