In this paper, we propose and consider the problem of cooperative language
acquisition as a particular form of the ad hoc team play problem. We then
present a probabilistic model for inferring a speaker's intentions and a
listener's semantics from observing communications between a team of
language-users. This model builds on the assumptions that speakers are engaged
in positive signalling and listeners are exhibiting positive listening, which
is to say the messages convey hidden information from the listener, that then
causes them to change their behaviour. Further, it accounts for potential
sub-optimality in the speaker's ability to convey the right information
(according to the given task). Finally, we discuss further work for testing and
developing this framework.

本文提出并考虑了合作式语言习得问题，该问题是特殊形式的临时团队协作问题，然后提出了一种概率模型，用于从观察团队语言使用者之间的沟通中推断说话者的意图和听众的语义，该模型基于说话者从事积极信号和监听器展示积极倾听的假设，并说明了可能的说话者传递正确信息的非最优能力，最后讨论了进一步测试和开发此框架的工作。
