There’s more to Neural Nets than big fat LLMs!
We’ve built a NN-agent framework to simulate how people choose the best word in a given communication context (i.e. pragmatic naming behavior).

Ever wondered how our words change their meanings over time, and why languages keep both broad terms (“dog”) and specific ones (“Dalmatian”)?
Our new paper asks that question, but instead of asking humans, we ask neural agents 🤖
