“…However, as learned programs or procedures become more complex, comprehensible depictions of the learned program become more important (e.g., [5,11,2]). An advantage of presenting learned procedures to users is that it offers them the Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.…”

The Adept Task Learning system is an end-user programming environment that combines programming by demonstration and direct manipulation to support customization by nonprogrammers. Previously, Adept enforced a rigid procedure-authoring workflow consisting of demonstration followed by editing. However, a series of system evaluations with end users revealed a desire for more feedback during learning and more flexibility in authoring. We present a new approach that interleaves incremental learning from demonstration and assisted editing to provide users with a more flexible procedureauthoring experience. The approach relies on maintaining a "soup" of alternative hypotheses during learning, propagating user edits through the soup, and suggesting repairs as needed. We discuss the learning and reasoning techniques that support the new approach and identify the unique interaction design challenges they raise, concluding with an evaluation plan to resolve the design challenges and complete the improved system.

“…Previous work on proactive loop completion (e.g. [3,6,11]) provides valuable design direction, such as deferring looping assistance until the second iteration, but we expect to perform a longitudinal evaluation before reaching a definitive decision.…”

“…In contrast, languages with a strong mapping between their symbols and the domain will normally be constrained to a small set of domain-specific problems. For example, programming by demonstration systems, in which the input symbols are identical to the programming domain, are normally limited to a specific domain (see [10] for a discussion of domain independent programming by demonstration).…”
