Apprenticeship Learning is a method of improving problem solving performance by observing and critiquing another problem solver. It can be used to improve an AI program (machine learning) or a human problem solver (intelligent tutoring).

This talk describes an expert problem-solving architecture, called Minerva, which facilitates apprenticeship learning. Results will be described based on a research prototype in the domain of ship damage control, which is being developed within the context of a Stanford-Illinois MURI research grant.



Date: Thursday, May 9

Time: 4:15-5:30PM
