BEHAVIORAL CLONING
Abstract
Controlling a complex dynamic system such as a plane or a crane usually requires a skilled operator. Such a control skill is typically hard to reconstruct through introspection. Therefore an attractive approach to the reconstruction of control skill involves machine learning from operators control traces also known as behavioral cloning. Behavioral cloning is a method by which a machine learns control skills through observing what a human controller would do in a certain set of circumstances. It seeks to build a robust and explainable model by learning from the traces of a skilled operators behavior.
