An overview of machine teaching

X Zhu, A Singla, S Zilles, AN Rafferty - arXiv preprint arXiv:1801.05927, 2018 - arxiv.org
In this paper we try to organize machine teaching as a coherent set of ideas. Each idea is
presented as varying along a dimension. The collection of dimensions then form the …

Interactive teaching algorithms for inverse reinforcement learning

P Kamalaruban, R Devidze, V Cevher… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) with the added twist that the
learner is assisted by a helpful teacher. More formally, we tackle the following algorithmic …

Teaching categories to human learners with visual explanations

O Mac Aodha, S Su, Y Chen… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We study the problem of computer-assisted teaching with explanations. Conventional
approaches for machine teaching typically only provide feedback at the instance level eg …

Nonparametric teaching for multiple learners

C Zhang, X Cao, W Liu, I Tsang… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of teaching multiple learners simultaneously in the nonparametric
iterative teaching setting, where the teacher iteratively provides examples to the learner for …

Towards black-box iterative machine teaching

W Liu, B Dai, X Li, Z Liu, J Rehg… - … on Machine Learning, 2018 - proceedings.mlr.press
In this paper, we make an important step towards the black-box machine teaching by
considering the cross-space machine teaching, where the teacher and the learner use …

Training workers for improving performance in crowdsourcing microtasks

U Gadiraju, B Fetahu, R Kawase - Design for Teaching and Learning in a …, 2015 - Springer
With the advent and growing use of crowdsourcing labor markets for a variety of
applications, optimizing the quality of results produced is of prime importance. The quality of …

Teaching inverse reinforcement learners via features and demonstrations

L Haug, S Tschiatschek… - Advances in Neural …, 2018 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Learning near-optimal behaviour from an expert's demonstrations typically relies on the
assumption that the learner knows the features that the true reward function depends on. In …

Iterative teaching by label synthesis

W Liu, Z Liu, H Wang, L Paull… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this paper, we consider the problem of iterative machine teaching, where a teacher
provides examples sequentially based on the current iterative learner. In contrast to previous …

Learner-aware teaching: Inverse reinforcement learning with preferences and constraints

S Tschiatschek, A Ghosh, L Haug… - Advances in neural …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) enables an agent to learn complex behavior by
observing demonstrations from a (near-) optimal policy. The typical assumption is that the …

Preference-based batch and sequential teaching: Towards a unified view of models

F Mansouri, Y Chen, A Vartanian… - Advances in neural …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Algorithmic machine teaching studies the interaction between a teacher and a learner where
the teacher selects labeled examples aiming at teaching a target hypothesis. In a quest to …
