-Biograpy
Songhwai Oh received the B.S. (with highest honors), M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1995, 2003, and 2006, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. Before his Ph.D. studies, he was a Senior Software Engineer at Synopsys, Inc. and a Microprocessor Design Engineer at Intel Corporation. In 2007, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. From 2007 to 2009, he was an Assistant Professor of electrical engineering and computer science in the School of Engineering, University of California, Merced. His research interests include robotics, computer vision, cyber-physical systems, and machine learning.
-Abstract
In particular, I will present our recent work on learning with counterexamples to enhance safety and social acceptability of service robots. While existing learning from demonstration (LfD) algorithms assume that demonstrations are given from skillful experts, the proposed method alleviates such assumption by allowing demonstrations from casual or novice users. To learn from demonstrations of mixed quality, we present a sparse-constrained leveraged optimization algorithm using proximal linearized minimization. I will also present how the same concept can be applied to inverse reinforcement learning to improve performance.
