The purposeful exchange of information caused by the creation and perception of signals drawn from a shared system of conventional signs is known as communication. Most animals employ signals to convey vital messages: there's food here, there's a predator nearby, approach, recede, and let's mate. Communication can help agents succeed in a partially visible world because they can learn knowledge that others have observed or inferred. Humans are the most talkative of all species, thus computer agents will need to master the language if they are to be useful. Language models for communication are examined in this chapter.
