Agents Learn to Count, But Struggle to Generalize

12.02.2026 by ebaster

The study demonstrates that penalizing longer messages in a discrete communication system-trained on numerosities of one to five with a three-token vocabulary-induces a trade-off between accuracy and message length, as evidenced by a decreasing conditional entropy and average message length with increasing regularization coefficients.

New research reveals how artificial agents develop numerical communication through interaction, showcasing both impressive precision and inherent limitations in scaling to unseen numbers.
