Interactive reinforcement learning (RL) has been successfully used in various applications in different fields, which has also motivated HCI researchers to contribute in this area. In this paper, we survey interactive RL to empower human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers with the technical background in RL needed to design new interaction techniques and propose new applications. We elucidate the roles played by HCI researchers in interactive RL, identifying ideas and promising research directions. Furthermore, we propose generic design principles that will provide researchers with a guide to effectively implement interactive RL applications.

Identity recognition plays an important role in ensuring security in our daily life. Biometric-based (especially activity-based) approaches are favored due to their fidelity, universality, and resilience. However, most existing machine learning-based approaches rely on a traditional workflow where models are usually trained once for all, with limited involvement from end-users in the process and neglecting the dynamic nature of the learning process. This makes the models static and can not be updated in time, which usually leads to high false positive or false negative. Thus, in practice, an expert is desired to assist with providing high-quality observations and interpretation of model outputs. It is expedient to combine both advantages of human experts and the computational capability of computers to create a tight-coupling incremental learning process for better performance. In this study, we develop RLTIR, an interactive identity recognition approach based on reinforcement learning, to adjust the identification model by human guidance. We first build a base tree-structured identity recognition model. And an expert is introduced in the model for giving feedback upon model outputs. Then, the model is updated according to strategies that are automatically learned under a designated reinforcement learning framework. To the best of our knowledge, it is the very first attempt to combine human expert knowledge with model learning in the area of identity recognition. The experimental results show that the reinforced interactive identity recognition framework outperforms baseline methods with regard to recognition accuracy and robustness.
Reinforcement learning techniques successfully generate convincing agent behaviors, but it is still difficult to tailor the behavior to align with a users specific preferences. What is missing is a communication method for the system to explain the behavior and for the user to repair it. In this paper, we present a novel interaction method that uses interactive explanations using templates of natural language as a communication method. The main advantage of this interaction method is that it enables a two-way communication channel between users and the agent; the bot can explain its thinking procedure to the users, and the users can communicate their behavior preferences to the bot using the same interactive explanations. In this manner, the thinking procedure of the bot is transparent, and users can provide corrections to the bot that include a suggested action to take, a goal to achieve, and the reasons behind these decisions. We tested our proposed method in a clone of the video game named textit{Super Mario Bros.}, and the results demonstrate that our interactive explanation approach is effective at diagnosing and repairing bot behaviors.
Providing reinforcement learning agents with informationally rich human knowledge can dramatically improve various aspects of learning. Prior work has developed different kinds of shaping methods that enable agents to learn efficiently in complex environments. All these methods, however, tailor human guidance to agents in specialized shaping procedures, thus embodying various characteristics and advantages in different domains. In this paper, we investigate the interplay between different shaping methods for more robust learning performance. We propose an adaptive shaping algorithm which is capable of learning the most suitable shaping method in an on-line manner. Results in two classic domains verify its effectiveness from both simulated and real human studies, shedding some light on the role and impact of human factors in human-robot collaborative learning.
In this paper, we propose a generic framework that enables game developers without knowledge of machine learning to create bot behaviors with playstyles that align with their preferences. Our framework is based on interactive reinforcement learning (RL), and we used it to create a behavior authoring tool called MarioMix. This tool enables non-experts to create bots with varied playstyles for the game titled Super Mario Bros. The main interaction procedure of MarioMix consists of presenting short clips of gameplay displaying precomputed bots with different playstyles to end-users. Then, end-users can select the bot with the playstyle that behaves as intended. We evaluated MarioMix by incorporating input from game designers working in the industry.
Graph data have become increasingly common. Visualizing them helps people better understand relations among entities. Unfortunately, existing graph visualization tools are primarily designed for single-person desktop use, offering limited support for interactive web-based exploration and online collaborative analysis. To address these issues, we have developed Argo Lite, a new in-browser interactive graph exploration and visualization tool. Argo Lite enables users to publish and share interactive graph visualizations as URLs and embedded web widgets. Users can explore graphs incrementally by adding more related nodes, such as highly cited papers cited by or citing a paper of interest in a citation network. Argo Lite works across devices and platforms, leveraging WebGL for high-performance rendering. Argo Lite has been used by over 1,000 students at Georgia Techs Data and Visual Analytics class. Argo Lite may serve as a valuable open-source tool for advancing multiple CIKM research areas, from data presentation, to interfaces for information systems and more.
