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.
