Amazon's user experience provides essential information in an easy to navigate format while obtaining valuable user feedback. However, some pages could be improved by reducing clutter and better targeting advertisements and content. The mobile app takes full advantage of capabilities like barcode scanning and photo search. Testing of new features like group gift purchasing would help understand user needs and feasibility.

Network effects. It’s one of the most important concepts for business in general and especially for tech businesses, as it’s the key dynamic behind many successful software-based companies. Understanding network effects not only helps build better products, but it helps build moats and protect software companies against competitors’ eating away at their margins.
Yet what IS a network effect? How do we untangle the nuances of 'network effects' with 'marketplaces' and 'platforms'? What’s the difference between network effects, virality, supply-side economies of scale? And how do we know a company has network effects?
Most importantly, what questions can entrepreneurs and product managers ask to counter the wishful thinking and sometimes faulty assumption behind the belief that “if we build it, they will come” … and instead go about more deterministically creating network effects in their business? Because it's not a winner-take-all market by accident.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

● Purchasing process
simple and easy
3. 5 Best Functionalities
Content tailored to users: Amazon analyzes your site activity to
give you recommendations about products you may like. It helps
discovering interesting products.
Sample products: A big challenge with buying online is not having
the product in your hands. When you buy books on Amazon, that
experience is nicely replicated by the “Look Inside” and “Get a
Sample” features.
Customer reviews: Amazon has a large base of customers that
make an active review community. They offer simple but powerful
features to go through those reviews and analyze the opinions.
Other sellers integrated: Amazon wants you to find everything on
their site, even if they don't sell it. They integrate different sellers
offering new and used items. This expands their offering
significantly.
One-click shopping: Users can set up their accounts to make
one-click purchases and skip all the process of typing and
confirming information.
4. 3 Pain Points
Too many items on one page: When strictly speaking
about user experience, a regular Amazon page is
extremely cluttered. It can contain more than 250 links
and buttons.
Difficult to find uncommon items: Amazon has millions
of products, but unless you know the exact name, you
will only see the most popular and bestselling items.
What's the value in such a large offering if you can't
find it?
Lack of clarity of who is the seller, what are the terms:
When purchasing from 3rd party sellers, it is not
always clear who you are buying from, or if they offer
the same service.
5. Improvements
Pain Point Improvements
Too many items Allow users to choose which information to show on
on one page product pages. Make items as bestselling list,
recently viewed items, and “customers who
bought...”, optional. Offer a more visually pleasing
product-list view, like expandable lists (i.e. show top
3 best sellers, and a link to “Show more”).
Difficult to find Improve advanced search options, currently too
uncommon items limited.
Implement Netflix's recommendation system, where
users can rate books they've read, and mark the
ones that are interesting/not interesting to them.
Lack of clarity of Add a page in the purchase process when buying
who is seller, what from 3rd parties where it shows exactly what's
are terms different vs. buying from Amazon directly.
6. New Feature
Social integration for
automatic wish list sharing
and group buying
Connect with Facebook and all
your friends can access your wish
list. For birthdays, if you want a
$500 TV that no one would buy for
you, 20 friends can chip in with $25
and make it a group gift.
I just contributed $25 to David Gracia's
birthday gift. Click here to contribute http:

7. New Feature - Research

1. Understand if users need ■ What are the occasions people
