Talking Helps: Evolving Communicating Agents for the Predator-Prey Pursuit Problem
2000
Artificial Life
Preserved Fulltext
A genetic algorithm is used to evolve multi-agent languages for the predator agents in a version of the predator-prey pursuit problem. ...
Furthermore, the evolved communicating predators perform signi cantly better than all previous work on similar prey. ...

A case is made for using both of these strategies to understand the extent to which the alarm calls of putty-nosed monkeys are likely to be a good model for human language evolution. ...
We argue that computational modeling, and in particular the use of individual-based simulations, is an effective way to reduce the size of the pool of candidate explanations. ...
The most basic strategic problem faced by the monkeys is how much time to spend feeding and how much to spend looking out for predators. ...

As agents become better at detecting the agency of others, either through evolutionary history or individual learning, the candidate pool for signaling expands. ...
This paper sketches some of the evolutionary and design considerations that could take agents from solipsistic goal pursuit to beliefs that serve as social signals. ...
