Abstract :
Nowadays, programming by demonstration (PbD) has become an important paradigm for policy learning in robotics [3]. The idea of having robots capable of learning from humans through natural communication means is indeed fascinating. As an extension of the traditional PbD learning scheme, where robots only learn by observing a human teacher, our work follows the recently suggested principle of policy refinement and reuse through interactive corrective feedback [1].
