Augmentation-based learning combining observations and user edits for programming-by-demonstration

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a new approach to Programming-by-Demonstration in which the user is allowed to explicitly edit the procedure model produced by the learning algorithm while demonstrating the task. We describe a new algorithm, Augmentation-Based Learning, that supports this approach by considering both demonstrations and edits as constraints on the hypothesis space, and resolving conflicts in favor of edits.
