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.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Livestock fattening value chain development: Interventions and lessons

Livestock Fattening value chain development
Interventions and lessons
Value chain interventions
Knowledge management
/skill development
Linking farmers/pastoralists with traders
on livestock fair
Organising farmers to ensure quality concentrate supply
Lessons and Challenges
Knowledge sharing, training, follow up of interventions, and partner linkages contribute to improving the•
skills and knowledge of value chain actors and service providers, including women
Forage development benefited animal producers on individual farms and on communal areas•
Development of forage seeds and vegetative planting material production/distribution from individual•
farms and FTCs was one of the drivers for such changes
Synergy between NRM and fodder development should be stressed for both animal production and•
apiculture in areas where the potential exists
Increased use of crop residues has positive effects on animal production, however technologies to•
improve nutritional value and uptake (chopping, straw treatment) have not yet seen wide spread adoption
Credit-based purchase of larger numbers of animals and other inputs was successfully tested. As a result,•
several fatteners moved from small to large ruminant fattening and/or other commercial enterprises
Community based insurance may reduce the risks associated with credit•
Community animal health workers can function in rural areas but require institutional back up from•
regional and federal level authorities
Linkages between feed companies, fattening groups, and private traders are emerging and should be•
further developed into agro dealership networks
Organized and systematic integration of breeding and fattening with desirable genetic traits should be•
emphasized in the future to ensure improved supply of animals
Matching the appropriate genetics of animals with the environment should be explored in certain areas•
for further development of market-oriented meat production systems
Rapid market assessment can help identify potential market outlets•
Additional ICT-supported information /knowledge via Ethiopian
Agriculture Portal (EAP) www.eap.gov.et
Use local markets as linkage platforms
between traders and fatteners
Use of indigenous breeds for fattening
Training farmers in chopping, UMB preparation and urea treatment

entrepreneurial skills willing to
invest

Organising awards for best
practitioners Woreda knowledge centers :
powerful institutions
Farmers and traders recognized the international and domestic•
market potential for live animals
Inadequate knowledge and skills on commercial production of•
live animals among value chain actors and service providers
Men were predominantly engaged in large animal production and•
sale. Women mostly participate in managing and sale of small
ruminants
Previous development efforts focused on promotion of small•
numbers of animals to improve food security/livelihood of
farmers, with little market-orientation
Dry season fodder scarcity (including crop residues) and limited•
availability of concentrate feed was prevalent
Animal health services were poorly developed, especially in rural•
areas
Marketing of animals was hampered by lack of market•
information and monopolistic market structures in which farmers
were often price takers
Free grazing system resulted in compacting of the soil leading to•
increased soil and water erosion
