Keeping Humans on the Loop when Designing and Operating Autonomous Systems

Rebekka will present techniques to build autonomous systems that are aware of humans and their changing preferences. Traditionally, autonomous systems have been designed to automate tasks for a set of predefined objectives (e.g., to reduce energy consumption and minimize cost). These objectives often need to be traded off against each other and might have to be changed over time. In this talk, Rebekka will explain how humans can be kept “on the loop” when working with autonomous systems and their quality trade-offs.
