Neural Information Processing Systems 

First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. This paper presents a probabilistic model for language learning. The authors cover the nature in which a pair of cooperative agents may work together to create an agreed-upon language. One question I have is how this could possibly be implemented in real-world language learning situations. Your evaluation of the emergence of phenomenon seen in real world languages makes me think you are trying to model or learn something about what real world language evolution is like.
