Previous works focus on the external environmental factors that impact the
compositionality of emerged symbolic language.
Some significant works on studying the external environmental factor on the compositionality of emergent language are summarized on Table~\ref{tab:rel}.
For example, ~\citet{kirby2015compression} explored how the pressures for expressivity and compressibility lead the structured language.
~\citet{kottur-etal-2017-natural} constrained the vocabulary size and whether the listener has memory to coax the compositionality of the emergent language.
~\citet{lazaridou2018emergence} showed that the degree of structure found in the input data affects the emergence of the symbolic language.

~\citet{evtimova2018emergent} designed a novel multi-modal scenarios, which the speaker and the listener should access to different modalities of the input object, to explore the language emergence.
Such factors are deliberately designed, which are too ideal to be true in
the real world. None of these works realizes the importance of model capacity of
agent itself. \rmk{this should be largely emphasized.}
