Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 3rd Workshop on Emergent Communication to be held at NeurIPS 2019 on Dec 13 or 14 at Vancouver, Canada.

We invite submissions from researchers both inside and outside the machine learning community in the following areas:

– multi-agent communication
– grounding emergent protocols to natural language
– compositionality in emergent/natural languages
– linguistic generalization
– learning cognitive skills through language
– language evolution
– deep multi-agent learning
– any other area related to the subject of the workshop

Submission Format:
The submitted work should be an extended abstract not exceeding 4 pages (excluding references and supplementary material). The submission should be in pdf format and should follow the style guidelines for NeurIPS 2019. The review process is double-blind. The submissions should not have been previously published in any ML conference nor have appeared in the NeurIPS main conference. We do however appreciate submitting published work from other non-ML conferences. Work currently under submission to another conference is also welcome. We discourage submitting the same work to other NeurIPS workshops. There will be no formal publication of workshop proceedings. However, the accepted papers will be made available online on the workshop website as non-archival reports to allow submissions to future conferences/journals.
