Title: Competence-Aware Systems

Abstract: Competence is the ability to do something well. Competence awareness is the ability to r epresent and learn a model of self competence and use it to decide how to best use the agent's own abilities as well as any available human assistan ce. This capability is critical for the success and safety of autonomous s ystems that operate in the open world. In this talk\, I introduce two type s of competence-aware systems (CAS): Type I refers to a stand-alone system that can learn its own competence and fine-tune itself to the problem ins tance without human assistance\; Type II is a human-aware system that uses a self-competence model to optimize the utilization of costly human assis tive actions. I describe recent results that demonstrate the benefits of t he two types of competence awareness\, including autonomous vehicle decisi on making.
