While traditional agent-based learning techniques have enjoyed considerable success, in recent years there has been a growing interest in improving such learning by leveraging humans as teachers. These human-in-the-loop methods have demon- strated substantial improvements by using human subjects in a variety of interaction modalities. Un- fortunately, there are few, if any, guidelines about when one teaching modality is more appropriate than another. In addition to highlighting this impor- tant gap in the current literature, this paper presents a pilot study that compares two specific teaching modalities: learning by feedback and learning by demonstration, and proposes a set of hypotheses about their relative performance.

While traditional agent-based learning techniques have
enjoyed considerable success, in recent years there has
been a growing interest in improving such learning by
leveraging humans as teachers. These human-in-the-loop
methods have demon- strated substantial improvements by
using human subjects in a variety of interaction
modalities. Un- fortunately, there are few, if any,
guidelines about when one teaching modality is more
appropriate than another. In addition to highlighting this
impor- tant gap in the current literature, this paper
presents a pilot study that compares two specific teaching
modalities: learning by feedback and learning by
demonstration, and proposes a set of hypotheses about their
relative performance.
