Experts from a range of disciplines explore how humans and
artificial agents can quickly learn completely new tasks through
natural interactions with each other. Humans are not limited to a
fixed set of innate or preprogrammed tasks. We learn quickly
through language and other forms of natural interaction, and we
improve our performance and teach others what we have learned.
Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of new
tasks through natural interaction is an ongoing challenge. Advances
in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and robotics are
leading us to future systems with human-like capabilities. A huge
gap exists, however, between the highly specialized niche
capabilities of current machine learning systems and the
generality, flexibility, and in situ robustness of human
instruction and learning. Drawing on expertise from multiple
disciplines, this Strungmann Forum Report explores how humans and
artificial agents can quickly learn completely new tasks through
natural interactions with each other. The contributors consider
functional knowledge requirements, the ontology of interactive task
learning, and the representation of task knowledge at multiple
levels of abstraction. They explore natural forms of interactions
among humans as well as the use of interaction to teach robots and
software agents new tasks in complex, dynamic environments. They
discuss research challenges and opportunities, including ethical
considerations, and make proposals to further understanding of
interactive task learning and create new capabilities in assistive
robotics, healthcare, education, training, and gaming. Contributors
