Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 2nd workshop on human-interactive robot learning (HIRL) which will take place on March 13, 2023, as part of the HRI workshop program. Additional details can be found on the workshop’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/hirl23/home Human-Interactive Robot Learning (HIRL) is an umbrella term used to describe a recent emerging research area on the design of teachable robotic agents that can learn interactively from human input, including demonstrations, feedback, advice, corrections, etc. While there has been an increased interest in HIRL, research efforts in this space remain largely disparate across different communities that encompass computer science, engineering, neuroscience, biology, and ethics. Thus, last year we held the first iteration of the HIRL workshop. It was a successful endeavor, with 94 participants, 5 invited talks from researchers in industry and academia, and 14 presentations from students on new and upcoming HIRL research. We will hold a second annual HIRL workshop at this year's HRI conference to continue fostering a community of HIRL researchers within the HRI conference as well as continue our work on creating a HIRL publication. We invite researchers to submit papers on the following topics: * Learning from demonstration, learning by imitation, learning from observation * Inverse reinforcement learning * Interactive reinforcement learning * Robot learning from human feedback (including advice, corrections, etc.) * Standardized task development for HIRL * Evaluation metrics for learners and teachers * Social signal processing for human teaching behaviors * Natural teaching interfaces * Teacher-learner adaptation * Human-guided exploration * Human-in-the-loop lifelong learning Submission details: The submission deadline is January 20, 2022. Notifications will be sent on February 20, 2022. The submission website is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=hirl23 We accept extended abstracts (2 pages, excluding references) that will be presented in presentation sessions and in a poster session. Papers must be high-resolution PDF format, using the IEEE conference format. Submissions must conform to the HRI-23 submission anonymizing instructions<https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2022/guidelines-for-anonymizing-submissions/>.
