Abstract

Understanding and efficiently representing skills is one of the most important problems in a general Programming by Demonstration (PbD) paradigm. We present Growing Hierarchical Dynamic Bayesian Networks (GHDBN), an adaptive variant of the general DBN model able to learn and to represent complex skills. The structure of the model, in terms of number of states and possible transitions between them, is not needed to be known a priori. Learning in the model is performed incrementally and in an unsupervised manner.
