Abstract: For the foreseeable future, AI systems will be applied to tasks driven by human task requirements, and human interaction with the systems is crucial.  This interaction between human operators and AI systems, when done well, can facilitate task completion and lead to more desirable outcomes.  One feature that can lead to better interaction between humans and AI system is a model of the human operator’s approach to the task that can be integrated with the AI.  In this talk, I will highlight two of the more widely applied mathematical models of human categorization and their close relationship with standard machine learning approaches.  Based on that foundation, I will give an overview of my current research goals of leveraging models of human categorization and machine categorization approaches to facilitate both human and AI performance.
