Author:Hassan Mahmud, MM; Rosman, Benjamin S; Ramamoorthy, S; Kohli, PDate:Jun 2014Interactive interfaces are a common feature of many systems ranging from field robotics to video games. In most applications, these interfaces must be used by a heterogeneous set of users, with substantial variety in effectiveness with the ...Read more
Author:Rosman, Benjamin S; Ramamoorthy, SDate:May 2014This paper considers the problem of providing advice to an autonomous agent when neither the behavioural policy nor the goals of that agent are known to the advisor. We present an approach based on building a model of “common sense” behaviour ...Read more
Author:Rosman, Benjamin S; Ramamoorthy, S; Mahmud, MMH; Kohli, PDate:Feb 2014Different interfaces allow a user to achieve the same end goal through different action sequences, e.g., command lines vs. drop down menus. Interface efficiency can be described in terms of a cost incurred, e.g., time taken, by the user in ...Read more
Author:Rosman, Benjamin S; Ramamoorthy, SDate:Nov 2012The computational complexity of learning in sequential decision problems grows exponentially with the number of actions available to the agent at each state. We present a method for accelerating this process by learning action priors that ...Read more
