Abstract: : The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has increased the relevance of agent-to-agent communication, particularly in systems where agents learn from their interactions. However, current LLMs offer limited insights into the communication dynamics among multiple agents, especially in large-scale settings when multiple agents are involved. Particularly training LLMs - in contrast to in-context learning - becomes nearly infeasible without large-scale computing infrastructure. In our work we present a machine-learning based agent framework to investigate the role of different communication pathways for studying language emergence between machine learning-based agents. We designed a transformer-based image auto-encoder as the agent architecture. A Gumbel SoftMax layer encodes images in form of symbols forming the language between agents. We study two pathways: In the first pathway, the sender reads an image and sends a message to the receiver. The receiver uses the message to reco nstruct the sender’s image. In the second pathway, the sender and receiver read an image and minimize the distance between the generated symbols. In the first pathway, language emerges with the Levenshtein distance of ≤ 2 for 96% of messages. In the second pathway, no language emerges with the Levenshtein distance of ≤ 2 for 3% of messages.
