Characterizing Language Use in a Collaborative Situated Game

Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2512.03381, 2025

This work characterizes how language users develop ad-hoc conventions in collaborative situated environments, analyzing a large-scale corpus from a virtual 3D game. The research was conducted at Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) under the supervision of Prof. Alane Suhr.

Key Contributions:

  • Analyzed situated language use in collaborative virtual environments
  • Characterized ad-hoc convention formation patterns
  • Developed insights into grounded language understanding

Research Area: Natural Language Processing, Grounded Language Understanding, Human-AI Interaction
