Description
*************
To harness full capabilities of robots, we should enable human
end-users to customize their robots' behaviors and teach them new
ones. Furthermore, it should be intuitive for these users to do so ---
as simple as teaching other humans. Due to its accessibility to
non-expert users, interactive learning is a promising method to
achieve this goal and has attracted widespread attention in recent
years. However, many challenges remain to make these methods
applicable to robots.
The goal of this symposium is to increase awareness and interest in
interactive learning methods and foster interdisciplinary
collaboration by bringing together a diverse collection of researchers
to discuss and exchange ideas on the current and potential future
research directions.
We are seeking broad participation from the areas including, but not limited to:
Imitation learning
Learning from demonstration
Developmental psychology
Teachable agents
Cognitive models
Human-robot interaction
Long-term learning through interaction
Unimodal and multi-modal media for efficient human-robot interaction
Caregiver modeling
Adaptive systems
Transfer learning
Sliding autonomy
Learning performance evaluation
*************
Submissions
*************
We welcome regular papers, extended abstracts, and late breaking
results (2-8 pages in PDF AAAI format) as well as proposals for demos
and panels. Submissions will be evaluated on both their technical
merit along with their potential to generate discussion and create
community collaboration.
