Multi-agent Communication meets Natural Language: Synergies between Functional and Structural Language Learning
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We present a method for combining multi-agent communication and traditional data-driven approaches to natural language learning, with an end goal of teaching agents to communicate with humans in natural ...
We introduce a new way for combining the two types of learning based on the idea of reranking language model samples, and show that this method outperforms others in communicating with humans in a visual ...

The Mind-Mapping approach (MMA): A culture and language "free" technique
1993
South African Journal of Communication Disorders
In this paper the need for language and culture "free" therapeutic techniques will be discussed. ...
In the conclusion, it is suggested that global techniques such as the MMA, which are based on fundamental and universal principles, are the route to finding language and culture "free" techniques. ...
Thus, stimulating a synergy between the two hemispheres is critical to effective accelerated learning. ...

Learning Natural Language Generation from Scratch
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
This paper introduces TRUncated ReinForcement Learning for Language (TrufLL), an original ap-proach to train conditional language models from scratch by only using reinforcement learning (RL). ...
TrufLL thus enables to train a language agent by solely interacting withits environment without any task-specific prior knowledge; it is only guided with a task-agnostic languagemodel. ...
