Human language has been described as a system that makes use of finite means to express an unlimited array of thoughts. Of particular interest is the aspect of compositionality, whereby, the meaning of a complex, compound language expression can be deduced from the meaning of its constituent parts. If artificial agents can develop compositional communication protocols akin to human language, they can be made to seamlessly generalize to unseen combinations. However, the real question is, how do we induce compositionality in emergent communication? Studies have recognized the role of curiosity in enabling linguistic development in children. It is this same intrinsic urge that drives us to master complex tasks with decreasing amounts of explicit reward. In this paper, we seek to use this intrinsic feedback in inducing a systematic and unambiguous protolanguage in artificial agents. We show in our experiments, how these rewards can be leveraged in training agents to induce compositionality in absence of any external feedback. Additionally, we introduce Comm-gSCAN, a platform for investigating grounded language acquisition in 2D-grid environments. Using this, we demonstrate how compositionality can enable agents to not only interact with unseen objects, but also transfer skills from one task to other in zero-shot (Can an agent, trained to pull and push twice, pull twice?)
