Symbol Emergence as an Interpersonal Multimodal Categorization.

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on category formation for individual agents and the dynamics of symbol emergence in a multi-agent system through semiotic communication. In this study, the semiotic communication refers to exchanging signs composed of the signifier (i.e., words) and the signified (i.e., categories). We define the generation and interpretation of signs associated with the categories formed through the agent's own sensory experience or by exchanging signs with other agents as basic functions of the semiotic communication. From the viewpoint of language evolution and symbol emergence, organization of a symbol system in a multi-agent system (i.e., agent society) is considered as a bottom-up and dynamic process, where individual agents share the meaning of signs and categorize sensory experie
