• Authors: Hugo Caselles-Dupr\'e, Mohamed Chetouani, Olivier Sigaud
• Abstract summary: In this paper, we investigate the implementation of such mechanisms in a tutor-learner setup where both participants are artificial agents in an environment with multiple goals. Using pedagogy from the tutor and pragmatism from the learner, we show substantial improvements over standard learning from demonstrations.

• Abstract: When demonstrating a task, human tutors pedagogically modify their behavior by either "showing" the task rather than just "doing" it (exaggerating on relevant parts of the demonstration) or by giving demonstrations that best disambiguate the communicated goal. Analogously, human learners pragmatically infer the communicative intent of the tutor: they interpret what the tutor is trying to teach them and deduce relevant information for learning. Without such mechanisms, traditional Learning from Demonstration (LfD) algorithms will consider such demonstrations as sub-optimal. In this paper, we investigate the implementation of such mechanisms in a tutor-learner setup where both participants are artificial agents in an environment with multiple goals. Using pedagogy from the tutor and pragmatism from the learner, we show substantial improvements over standard learning from demonstrations.

  We introduce Self-Explainable Affordance learning (SEA) with embodied caption. SEA enables robots to articulate their intentions and bridge the gap between explainable vision-language caption and visual affordance learning. We propose a novel model to effectively combine affordance grounding with self-explanation in a simple but efficient manner.

  The present study uses transmodal ordered network analysis to understand effective teacher practices in relationship to traditional metrics of in-system learning in a mathematics classroom working with AI tutors. Comparing teacher practices by student learning rates, we find that students with low learning rates exhibited more hint use after monitoring. Students with low learning rates showed learning behavior similar to their high learning rate peers, achieving repeated correct attempts in the tutor.

• A Survey of Demonstration Learning [0.0]
  Demonstration Learning is a paradigm in which an agent learns to perform a task by imitating the behavior of an expert shown in demonstrations. It is gaining significant traction due to having tremendous potential for learning complex behaviors from demonstrations. Due to learning without interacting with the environment, demonstration learning would allow the automation of a wide range of real world applications such as robotics and healthcare.

  We rigorously analyze various generative language models on two dialog tutoring datasets for language learning. We find that although current approaches can model tutoring in constrained learning scenarios, they perform poorly in less constrained scenarios. Our human quality evaluation shows that both models and ground-truth annotations exhibit low performance in terms of equitable tutoring.

  The learner can misunderstand the teacher's intentions if the instruction ambiguously refer to features of the object. We study how two concepts derived from cognitive sciences can help resolve those referential ambiguities. We apply those ideas to a teacher/learner setup with two artificial agents on a simulated robotic task.

  Large language models (LMs) are able to in-context learn by conditioning on a few input-label pairs (demonstrations) and making predictions for new inputs. We show that ground truth demonstrations are in fact not required -- randomly replacing labels in the demonstrations barely hurts performance. We find that other aspects of the demonstrations are the key drivers of end task performance.
