Lanag simulation framework - Adaptive agents

This is the simulation software for the computational models published in: van de Braak, L., Dingemanse, M., Toni, I., van Rooij, I. & Blokpoel, M. (2021) Computational challenges in explaining communication: How deep the rabbit hole goes. In Proceedings of the 43th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society. Austin, TX: Cognitive Science Society. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4pj1g2q8

How to run the simulations

1. Please ensure that Java 8 is installed on your system.
2. Please ensure that Scala sbt is installed, for instructions see https://www.scala-sbt.org/download/
3. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
   1. git clone https://github.com/computationalcognitivescience/lanag-adaptive.git
   2. cd lanag-adaptive
   3. mkdir output/datafiles
   4. sbt run
   5. Select com.markblokpoel.lanag.adaptive.RunAdaptiveExperiment for non-ostensive model simulation and com.markblokpoel.lanag.adaptive.RunExplicitExperiment for ostensive model simulation.
4. Output files will be written to output/datafiles
5. Parameters such as number of signals, referents, pairs, turns, rounds, etc are set in /src/main/scala/com/markblokpoel/lanag/adaptive/RunAdaptiveExperiment.scala and /src/main/scala/com/markblokpoel/lanag/adaptive/RunExplicitExperiment.scala
