Abstract
This paper presents a framework for understanding the emergence and analysis of language in social learning agents using reinforcement learning in grid-world mazes. A teacher network transmits a message to a student network to improve task performance. The framework compresses high-dimensional task information into a low-dimensional representational space, mimicking natural language features. Results show that teacher information improves task completion and generalization, and optimizing message content enhances information encoding, highlighting language's role as a common representation among agents.
