Abstract
Most language use is driven by specific communicative goals in interactive setups, where often visual perception goes hand in hand with language processing. I will discuss some recent projects by my research group related to modelling language generation in socially and visually grounded contexts, arguing that such models can help us to better understand the cognitive processes underpinning these abilities in humans and contribute to more human-like conversational agents.
