Learning Translations: Emergent Communication Pretraining for Cooperative Language Acquisition

no code implementations26 Feb 2024 Dylan Cope, Peter McBurney

In Emergent Communication (EC) agents learn to communicate with one another, but the protocols that they develop are specialised to their training community.

Improving Activation Steering in Language Models with Mean-Centring

no code implementations6 Dec 2023 Ole Jorgensen, Dylan Cope, Nandi Schoots, Murray Shanahan

Recent work in activation steering has demonstrated the potential to better control the outputs of Large Language Models (LLMs), but it involves finding steering vectors.

Low-Entropy Latent Variables Hurt Out-of-Distribution Performance

no code implementations20 May 2023 Nandi Schoots, Dylan Cope

We study the relationship between the entropy of intermediate representations and a model's robustness to distributional shift.

Joining the Conversation: Towards Language Acquisition for Ad Hoc Team Play

no code implementations20 May 2023 Dylan Cope, Peter McBurney

In this paper, we propose and consider the problem of cooperative language acquisition as a particular form of the ad hoc team play problem.

Language Acquisition

A Measure of Explanatory Effectiveness

no code implementations20 May 2023 Dylan Cope, Peter McBurney

In most conversations about explanation and AI, the recipient of the explanation (the explainee) is suspiciously absent, despite the problem being ultimately communicative in nature.

Real-time Evolution of Multicellularity with Artificial Gene Regulation

no code implementations20 May 2023 Dylan Cope

This paper presents a real-time simulation involving ''protozoan-like'' cells that evolve by natural selection in a physical 2D ecosystem.

Learning to Communicate with Strangers via Channel Randomisation Methods

1 code implementation19 Apr 2021 Dylan Cope, Nandi Schoots

We introduce two methods for improving the performance of agents meeting for the first time to accomplish a communicative task.
