    abstract = "We study sequential language games in which two players, each with private information, communicate to achieve a common goal. In such games, a successful player must (i) infer the partner`s private information from the partner`s messages, (ii) generate messages that are most likely to help with the goal, and (iii) reason pragmatically about the partner`s strategy. We propose a model that captures all three characteristics and demonstrate their importance in capturing human behavior on a new goal-oriented dataset we collected using crowdsourcing."
