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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

factory before the product hits the market.
Filter with AI analysis at Edge
Constantly monitor traffic camera feeds to
detect collisions or “near collisions” and store
one minute of video around these events for
human analysis and model training. Retrain in
cloud and send updated model to edge.
Remove Sensitive Data at Edge
Automatically blur PII data, e.g. faces or license
plates, from images and video before they are
uploaded and archived in Azure, protecting
against privacy issues if you have a legal
requirement around storing PII in the cloud.
36. Aggregate
Combine or standardize data from different
sources into the format you want for cloud
storage and archiving as part of your upload
pipeline.
Modify
Remove data that for legal or compliance
reasons can’t be stored in the cloud, e.g.
Personally Identifying Information.
Filter
Sensors and devices can generate huge
amounts of data, but often most of that data is
repetitive and uninteresting. Identify the
important data you want in the cloud for
further processing or long-term storage and
discard less important data.

deploy complex event processing, machine learning, image recognition, and other high-value artificial intelligence without writing it in-house. Run Azure services such as Functions, Stream Analytics, and Machine Learning on-premises..
IoT Edge modules
IoT Edge modules are units of execution, currently implemented as Docker compatible containers, that run your business logic at the edge. Multiple modules can be configured to communicate with each other, creating a pipeline of data processing. You can develop custom modules or package certain Azure services into modules that provide insights offline and at the edge.
Artificial Intelligence on the edge
Azure IoT Edge allows you to deploy complex event processing, machine learning, image recognition and other high value AI without writing it in house. Azure services like Azure Functions, Azure Stream Analytics, and Azure Machine Learning can all be run on premises via Azure IoT Edge; however you’re not limited to Azure services. Anyone is able to create AI modules and make them available to the community for use.
Bring your own code
When you want to deploy your own code to your devices, Azure IoT Edge supports that, too. Azure IoT Edge holds to the same programming model as the other Azure IoT services. The same code can be run on a device or in the cloud. Azure IoT Edge supports both Linux and Windows so you can code to the platform of your choice. It supports Java, .NET Core 2.0, Node.js, C, and Python so your developers can code in a language they already know and use existing business logic without writing it from scratch.
Data disk works best if it’s SSD
People often think of IaaS as simply virtual machines, but IaaS is more. When you deploy a VM in Azure or Azure Stack, the machine comes with a software defined network including DNS, public IPs, firewall rules (also called network security groups), and many other capabilitiesPeople often think of IaaS as simply virtual machines, but IaaS is more. When you deploy a VM in Azure or Azure Stack, the machine comes with a software defined network including DNS, public IPs, firewall rules (also called network security groups), and many other capabilities
You can bring existing licenses to Azure Stack and pay only the base VM consumption fee
For Windows Server, bringing existing licenses is an alternative to using the Azure Stack native hourly meters
For dedicated deployments, you can do this without AHUB or license mobility – it is treated like on-premises hardware
However, you must comply with all existing product terms, so multi-tenant deployments rules still apply, e.g., must license the entire region.
We are extending the Azure Certified program to encompass Azure Stack.
With the exponential growth in data, most large organizations find themselves with data sprawling across diverse and siloed environments.
Many organizations have up to thousands of apps running on containers, databases, and VMs
In turn, those are running on various types of hardware, from on-prem datacenters to the edge.
And finally, many companies are using cloud services from more than one provider.
It’s challenging to manage these disparate environments at scale, ensure security, and maintain consistent governance when each resource is managed with a different tool and you lack visibility across them.
Most organizations have a large application portfolio with hundreds to thousands of apps, sometimes even tens of thousands of apps.
How do you assess your application portfolio and take advantage of the different cloud models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, cloud on-prem) to gain efficiency, achieve cost savings, and drive faster innovation?
For applications such as SharePoint, Exchange, Office, you can move to a SaaS model, so you can quickly free up people and resources.
There are some applications that you want to move quickly to the cloud without modifying them so you can gain cloud scale and efficiency. You can migrate these to IaaS VMs.
For applications that are mission critical or core to your business and require continuous innovation, you can use a combination of Containers and serverless technology to enable faster innovation and agility.
There are also workloads that must stay on premises for a variety of reasons (regulatory requirements, data sovereignty, network latency, or simply not ready to migrate). How do you gain cloud benefits for these apps?
You can bring the cloud to your datacenter so you can build and run cloud apps on-premises
And then there are the legacy apps, and virtualized apps that you want to run on modern infrastructure and connect to cloud services
You have new application which will enable new business models, new experiences for your customers and partners at the Edge. Bringing together IoT, AI and compute close to the place where the data is collected at the edge.
Microsoft offers a great set of platforms and tools to let you take advantage of cloud in these scenarios.
We offer SaaS solutions like Microsoft 365 for productivity and collaboration, and Dynamics 365 for business applications.
And, Azure offers a rich set of Infrastructure, Serverless and DevOps technology, so you can migrate and innovate in the cloud.
