34 - Translating Neuralese, with Jacob Andreas

ACL 2017 paper by Jacob Andreas, Anca D. Dragan, and Dan Klein.
Jacob comes on to tell us about the paper. The paper focuses on
multi-agent dialogue tasks, where two learning systems need to
figure out a way to communicate with each other to solve some
problem. These agents might be figuring out communication protocols
that are very different from what humans would come up with in the
same situation, and Jacob introduces some clever ways to figure out
what the learned communication protocol looks like - you find human
messages that induce the same beliefs in the listener as the robot
messages. Jacob tells us about this work, and we conclude with a
brief discussion of the more general issue of interpreting neural
models.
