From Signals to Structure: How Memory Architecture Drives Language Emergence in LLM Agents
Yashar Talebirad, Eden Redman, Ali Parsaee, Osmar R. Zaiane
How do two agents invent a shared language from scratch? In a Lewis signaling game, a sender and receiver must coordinate on a code using only their interaction history. We study five memory architectures across varying channel configurations with LLM agents and find that memory…
