Towards Effective Human-AI Collaboration in GUI-Based Interactive Task Learning Agents

We argue that a key challenge in enabling usable and useful interactive task learning for intelligent agents is to facilitate effective Human-AI collaboration.

Lastly, we identify several challenges and opportunities, and describe our ongoing work
