Disentangled Skill Representations for Predictive Human Modeling
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.23776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding human skill is important for AI systems that collaborate with, coach, or assist people. Unlike typical latent variable estimation problems which rely on single observations, skill is a persistent, compositional, and behaviorally grounded construct that must be inferred from patterns over time. We introduce Skill Abstraction with Interpretable Latents (SAIL), a method for modeling human skill as an interpretable, multi-dimensional construct inferred from naturalistic behavior. Our approach produces a skill embedding that is robust
