The research presented here describes a framework that provides the necessary infrastructure to learn procedural knowledge from observation traces annotated with goal transition information. One instance of a learning-by-observation system, called KnoMic (Knowledge Mimic), is developed within this framework and evaluated in a complex domain. This evaluation demonstrates that learning by observation can acquire procedural knowledge and can acquire that knowledge more efficiently than standard knowledge acquisition.
