Advances in human-instructable computing are contributing to a new breed of computer systems that can be taught by natural instruction rather than requiring direct programming. The current approach in the MABLE “electronic student” emphasizes the interface that maps different modes of instruction to machine learning algorithms that can learn the concepts and task knowledge being taught. While t...
