To achieve that goal, researchers and designers must understand\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Ehow certain design decisions impact the human\u0026rsquo;s experience of teaching the agent, such as influencing the agent\u0026rsquo;s\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Eperceived intelligence. We posit that the type of feedback a robot can learn from affects the perceived intelligence of\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Ethe robot, similar to its physical appearance. This talk will discuss different methods of natural language instruction including critique and\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Eand action advice. We conducted multiple human-in-the-loop experiments in which people trained agents with different\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Eteaching methods but, unknown to each participant, the same underlying machine learning algorithm. The results show that the mechanism\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003Eof teaching has an impact on human teacher\u0026rsquo;s perception of the agent including feelings of frustration, perceptions of intelligence and performance while only minimally impacting the agent\u0026rsquo;s performance.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EKaren Feigh is an Associate Professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering. She holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, a MPhil in Aeronautics from Cranfield University, UK, and a Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech. Karen has previously worked on fast-time air traffic simulation, conducted ethnographic studies of airline and fractional ownership operation control centers, and designed expert systems for air traffic control towers. Her doctoral work was conducted at Georgia Tech\u0026#39;s Cognitive Engineering Center where she used cognitive engineering methods to improve support system design methods to more closely match the dynamic needs of airline operations managers to aid with recovery from irregular operations. Her awards include the Marshall scholarship and the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate award.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Human Teacher\u2019s Perception of Teaching Methods for Machine Learning Algorithms"}],"uid":"34578","created_gmt":"2018-07-12 18:14:18","changed_gmt":"2018-08-21 15:29:59","author":"awatson46","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-09-21T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-09-21T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-09-21T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-09-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-09-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-09-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"66191","name":"Decision and Control Lab (DCL)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
