State Interpretation for Social Hierarchical Learning
The conclusion of my work at Scazlab during the summer of 2016, this paper discusses how I assisted Dr. Olivier Manguin's and Dr. Alessandro Roncone's research on enabling effective human robot collaboration. The broader purpose of this specific research was transitioning a robot from the role of student, to peer, and then to teacher. My own efforts went towards enabling our robot to understand the board state of a childrens game called snap circuits.

A Review of Social Heirarchical Learning
Social Heirarchical Learning aims to enable effective human robot collaboration and was the basis of Dr. Bradley Hayes's research while under Professor Scassellati at the Social Robotics Lab. After working under Brad for the previous two summers, I had the oppourtunity to fully explore his work through the Science Research Program at Choate. To write this paper, I read everything from review articles on the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, to review articles on the specific subsets of the forementioned fields, such as hierarchical leraning, to all of Brad's papers from his time at Yale. In addition, I also spent a considerable amount of time going through Berkeley's Artifical Intelligence course to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the ideas I discuss. Although Brad moved on to do great things at MIT, I had the oppourtunity to continue in Professor Brian Scassellati's lab for a third summer under Dr. Olivier Mangin and Dr. Alessandro Roncone, who picked up where Brad's research left off. .
