Talk:Programming by example

Separate article from "Programming by Demonstration"

I left my argument in favor of separate PbE and PbD articles over at PbD Talk page. I could be dissuaded, however; after all, I don't know how frequently the term is used in robotics. The last time I did anything with PbE (software/GUI sense) was in the early 90s. Yakushima (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Robot Programming by Demonstration is by now a well established research area and would deserve an entry on its own. Over the past year, 5 special issues on robot PbD have appeared in the best journals of robotics. There are also a number of recent surveys of the field, the latest one dated 2008 and published in the Handbook of Robotics, which is to become the "bible" of robotics. I have added a link to the PbD page from the robotics one.

To ensure that the distinction between PbE, PbD and Robot PbD is well understood, I would be in favor of having separate pages for PbE and PbD, and have crosslinks across the two pages. A. Billard. July 8, 2008.

If the approaches in PbE are similar to those in PbD, then there should be only one article about them. The concepts themselves only differ in their application areas. The age of the terms and who uses them should not decide whether there are two articles or one. -Pgan002 (talk) 05:03, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
