Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Â
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

36. Contingent teaching
Imagine:
you are a student in my Inorganic Chemistry class
you were asked to read the chapter about acids
and bases
class begins as follows:
39. Which of the following is an
example of an Arrhenius acid?
1) HCl in acetic acid
2) HCl in water
3) both 1 & 2
4) neither 1 nor 2
40. History:
Antoione Lavoisier (~1776): oxide of N, P, S
Justis von Liebig (1838): compound with H
replaceable by metal
Svante Arrhenius (1884): forms H+ in water
41. Definitions
Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted & Thomas Martin
Lowry (independently in 1923): proton donor
Gilbert Lewis (1923): electron pair acceptor
Christopher Kelk Ingold & Robert Robinson (1932):
electrophile (electron pair acceptor)
Hermann Lux & HĂĄkon Flood (1939): oxide ion
acceptor
Mikhail Usanovich (1939): electron acceptor
42. Which of the following is an
example of a Brønsted-Lowry
acid?
1) HCl in acetic acid
2) HCl in water
3) both 1 & 2
4) neither 1 nor 2
43. Brønsted-Lowry acid-base
chemistry
General Chemistry textbooks focus on this definition of an acid and a base.
Acids are proton donors.
Bases are proton acceptors.
Protons are hydrogen ions. (Note: 99.985 % of the natural isotopes of
hydrogen are H-1. Making H+ out of it results in ONLY a proton present. This
does NOT make acid-base chemistry the same as nuclear chemistry!)
e.g., acetic acid is a BASE if it is in the presence of hydrogen chloride (a stronger
acid):
CH3COOH + HCl ⇌ CH3COOH2
+ + Cl-
What if you aren’t working in a solvent system with H+?
44. Which of the following is an
example of a Lewis acid?
1) BF3 in the presence of F-
(to form BF4
-
)
2) HCl (g) in the presence of NH3 (g)
3) both 1 & 2
4) neither 1 nor 2
45. Which of the following is an
example of a Lewis acid-base
reaction?
1) Ca with S to form CaS
2) Na with Cl2 to form NaCl
3) both 1 & 2
4) neither 1 nor 2
46. When to “step in” and
“teach”
Questions are of increasingly complexity
Lecture/remediate when 20%+ incorrect
Once objective met, question on next topic
47. Think-Pair-Share
Individually:
â—¦ Pick a course and a topic
â—¦ Match the topic to an approach
In pairs:
â—¦ Share chosen approach
â—¦ Design 1 or 2 questions
Share:
â—¦ An example question
â—¦ Describe thought process
General idea:Overall feelings were neutral. likes: anonymity, discussion, hands on dislike: cost, wanted to be lectured toMethods: the more teacher led, the more students enjoyed
JeremyConundrum: instructors want more engagement students say clickers increased engagement student perceptions were neutral
JeremyWe are going to bring you through three of the major models of ARS useThese were each implemented in the Chem class
FOCUS ON WHEN WE USED THIS/WHYWhen students had decent background on a concept Mainly to refine concept and move on Allowed an expert student to assist other students (though it could sometimes throw off correct students) **We remember best what we teach othersWhen there was a mix of concrete facts and abstract concepts **Allows instructor to hear thought process when consolidating a concept & jump in to lecture
Since students in introductory courses often try to learn through memorization, questions should be aimed beyond the remember/knowledge domain.
Question & a few minutes of wait timeCollect individual results (often not projected)Group discussion – defend your choice, talk through disagreementsRe-poll (most often projected)Instructor explanation majority correct: short explanation majority incorrect: lengthy explanation
This one will go through a full cycle – question, individual response, group discussion/response, explanation
The basic idea is that you will understand the concept of parabolic motion and be able to apply its impact on travel time in a given scenarioAllow a few minutes to consider the answerCollect poll results, break students into groups for 2 minutesReconvene for second poll and resultsCORRECT ANSWER: B(t)Trip = 2* square root of (2h/g) The (h) of the trajectory is less, so the (t)trip is lesser
Describe equation and variables and then click to show explanation.
CORRECT ANSWER: B(t)Trip = 2* square root of (2h/g) The (h) of the trajectory is less, so the (t)trip is lesser
This is another example of a concept test in the liberal arts
Must understand all of the terms and synthesizethem contextuallySex labeling – that’s men’s work or women’s work overt in title policeman, stewardess covert in stereotypes – nurses are women, doctors are menSupply-side is worker behaviorDemand-side is employer behaviorCORRECT ANSWER: C
An example of a concept test in health sciences / nursing
This question requires the student to not only know the terms, but to apply the appropriate methodology to a case.CORRECT ANSWER: A
FOCUS ON WHY WE USED THISDifferent from Peer Instrution in that more time is spent in groups and whole class discussion. This method also prefers demonstrations or short experiments over straight lecture to enhance opportunity for experiential learningWhen students had significant background & could really dig into a new experience
Compared to Peer Instruction it adds more layers of social constructivismNo individual responses first, rather students work together to answer & explore knowledge gaps.After responses there is a whole group discussion – teacher facilitates only
Students move up Bloom’s:Comprehend concepts / refine miscomprehensionConnect parts of a whole (many forces at work, e.g.)Analyze a problem using related concepts – explore, discuss, etc.Solve a problem using related concepts – final step
This one will go through a full cycle – question, group discussion/response, whole room discussion, demo/explanation
CORRECT ANSWER: BBreak into small groups to discussPoll after discussion and show results
After discussing you would provide a demonstration or lecture to clarify any misconceptions or misapplications of a concept
You can see, especially in the slow motion, that his motion is linear (not curved) and continues in a straight line (that is, not tangential) from the point of departure
