Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Slack (or Teams) Automation for Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Soluti...Jeffrey Haguewood
Sidekick Solutions uses Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Solutions Apricot) and automation solutions to integrate data for business workflows.
We believe integration and automation are essential to user experience and the promise of efficient work through technology. Automation is the critical ingredient to realizing that full vision. We develop integration products and services for Bonterra Case Management software to support the deployment of automations for a variety of use cases.
This video focuses on the notifications, alerts, and approval requests using Slack for Bonterra Impact Management. The solutions covered in this webinar can also be deployed for Microsoft Teams.
Interested in deploying notification automations for Bonterra Impact Management? Contact us at sales@sidekicksolutionsllc.com to discuss next steps.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

3. 1. Id X
―X‖ is a global set of conferences owned by the
private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to
disseminate "ideas worth spreading". It was
founded in 1984 as a one-off event held annually
from 1990 in Monterey, California. They address
an increasingly wide range of topics within the
research and practice of science and culture. The
speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to
present their ideas in the most innovative and
engaging ways they can.
5. 2. Id X
―X‖ works in the Army while his wife and mother
live in Morena. He surprises his seniors in the Army
with his athletic skills. He participates in the Indian
National Games and wins the gold medal in the
steeplechase event 7 years in a row but is later
forced to become a notorious baaghi.
7. 3. Id the structure and legend
There is a widely spread story that ―X‖ decided to
build the luxurious hotel after he was refused entry
to one of the city's then grand hotels, Parke's
Apollo Hotel, as it was reserved to whites (mostly
british) only. Another belief is that ―X‖ was built as
a result of the request of the editor of the then
Times of India who felt a hotel worthy of Bombay
was needed.
11. 5. Identify
An on-going petition, called ―X for World Heritage,‖
claiming ― X is a masterpiece of human creative genius and
is also of universal human value― aims at getting X tagged
as a potential ―World Heritage Site‖ by UNESCO.
The petition is based on the view that X is ―predestined to
become the first ever digital World Heritage Site as it is a
pioneer project of the digital age, carrying the ancient idea
of common and free knowledge into the third millennium.‖
The claims finds some support from the fact that
UNESCO has recognized abstract ideas such as flamenco
dancing and French cuisine.

about the same color as the soil surrounding it. Based on
the optics of resolving power only an object of reasonable
contrast to its surroundings which is 70 mi or more in
diameter would be visible to the unaided eye. The apparent
width of the X from the ____ is the same as that of a
human hair viewed from 2 miles away. To see the X would
require spatial resolution 17,000 times better than normal
(20/20) vision.

harassing him again, ostensibly because he did not have a vendor's permit.
• Regardless, Bouazizi's family claims he was publicly humiliated when a 45-year-old
female municipal official, Faida Hamdi, slapped him in the face, spat at him,
confiscated his electronic weighing scales, and tossed aside his produce cart. It was

• It was dangerous work, and she nearly lost her life in 1833 during a
landslide that killed her dog Tray.

• After her death her unusual life story attracted increasing interest. Charles
Dickens wrote of her in 1865 that "[t]he carpenter's daughter has won a
name for herself, and has deserved to win it.‖ In 2010 the Royal Society
included Anning in a list of the ten British women who have most
