Shared meaning in language requires people to learn and agree on categories. We ask how characteristics of agents' memories change the emergence and evolution of shared meaning. Without a coordination game, models of conceptual semantics cannot explain how shared meaning emerges and changes in groups of people; however, existing games assume that players share payoffs in a partnership setting. We model conceptual alignment as a non-partnership game and illustrate differences in actual and perceived conceptual convergence from counterfactual simulations using agents with varying levels of adaptiveness and memory degradation. We found that adaptive players achieved actual convergence faster and had closer final conceptual regions than non-adaptive players, while non-adaptive players perceived convergence earlier. Weighing novel information less over time resulted in more stable agreements than fixing the weight of novel information. Memory features are critical to the emergence and evolution of actual and perceived convergence.
Traditional approaches to wearable health signal analysis, such as smartwatches, are constrained by rigid analytical frameworks and limited personalisation. The emergence of LLM agents creates a new opportunity for Personal Health Agentic Analysis, where health insights can be ge…
Theory-of-mind evaluations of large language models typically use dyadic social-deduction games, where every observable cue points to a single hidden side, so a model with strong language priors can score well without ever simulating opponents' incentives. We extend the Werewolf…
LLM-based agents have rapidly improved at operating individual digital environments such as mobile applications, desktop systems, and smart homes. However, real-world user goals often span multiple devices: information may come from a phone, be processed on a desktop, and the res…
For decades, static solution concepts (Nash, Correlated, and Coarse Correlated Equilibria) and the Price of Anarchy (PoA) have formed the bedrock of algorithmic game theory, with no-regret learning proving fast convergence to such game-theoretic equilibria. We show that reducing…
Multi-agent and memory-augmented LLM systems often place coordination content, shared state, prior discussion, tool outputs, summaries, and role instructions, inside the same finite prompt used for the current task. This creates a practical allocation problem: every token spent o…
Silicon sampling-using large language models (LLMs) to simulate human survey respondents-has emerged as a promising approach for augmenting traditional survey research. However, most evaluations rely on distributional comparisons rather than individual-level prediction, which ris…
