AbstractThe real world is too complex to model accurately. Autonomous agents and robots that perform complex tasks in the real world, ranging from handling inventory in warehouses to driving, will inevitably encounter scenarios that are not fully described in their symbolic models used for decision-making. To handle such unexpected scenarios, agents often rely on human assistance to complete the task, restore safety, or refine the model. While these interventions can restore safety in the short term, th
