Call for papers

We invite submissions exploring the intersection of language and interactive learning through the lens of Language Gamification. We welcome papers that address the following themes:

• Any work combining deep (RL) learning methods for language with an interactive loop
• Definition and/or implementation of language games or language interactive loop
• Original interactive evaluation of LLM abilities, e.g., ChatArena and EconArena
• Game theory or multi-agent techniques are applied to language, such as self-play, turn-taking, etc.
• Self-improvement and bootstrapping methods for LLMs
• Population-based, swarm, or iteration-based training methods for language
• In-context learning methods for LLM
• Live-improvement with self-reflecting methods, e.g., inner-monologue, constitutional AI.
• Agent LLMs that require interactive decision-making, planning, reasoning, tool use, etc.
• Training with LLM as a judge (or RLAIF) approaches that go beyond preference tuning
• Language emergence modeling papers
• Original work bridging interactive language acquisition and LLMs beyond ML

We appreciate any submissions believe contribute significantly to the field of Language Gamification, even if they don’t perfectly fit within the listed categories.

We welcome submissions from researchers who go beyond the classic Machine Learning community. This includes work in linguistics, anthropology, cognitive science, psychology, economics, philosophy, etc., related to language gamification or language games.
