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.
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.

6. HOW WE GET AND USE
INFORMATION
We retain information at these rates:
10 percent of what we read
20 percent of what we hear
30 percent of what we see
50 percent of what we see and hear
70 percent of what we see and discuss
90 percent of what we do
7. Oral Communication
Say what you mean, and mean what you say!
Listening is really where all good
communication begins.
8. Barriers to Effective Listening
• We can think faster than a speaker can talk, and
jump to conclusions
• We are distracted and allow our minds to wander
• We lose patience, and decide we are not
interested
• We overreact to what's said and respond
emotionally
• We interrupt
9. How to Be a Better Listener
• Be patient for the entire message
• Be aware of speech cues (who, what,
where, when, why, how)
• Listen for ideas, not just facts (stories,
reasons, goals help us remember facts)
10. :Examples
• Verify:
“So, you're saying that. . .”
“If I understand correctly, you said. . .”
• Question:
“What do you mean when you say. . .?”
“Have you really spent. . .?”
• Acknowledge: Look at the speaker and nod
Occasionally say, “hmmm” or “oh, right”
11. Why silence is sometimes important:
This allows you to give your undivided attention
to the other person. You may give some non-verbal
cues that you are hearing, such as nodding your
head, smiling, opening or closing your eyes. This
method is especially useful when people come to
you with strong feelings, either positive or negative.
Their first need is simply to share the feelings and to
have someone listen.
12. • Encourage:
“Tell me more”
“Would you like to talk about it?”
“Want to have lunch and talk?”
13. :We can increase ability to listen by
• Look at the speaker (benefit = 15 percent)
• Ask questions (benefit = 15 percent)
• Take notes (benefit = 20 percent)
14. SPEAKING SKILLS: WHAT TO SAY AND
:HOW TO SAY IT
Asking Questions:
Some are designed to clarify the message you
are receiving. Others are designed to get more
information.
Close-ended questions are designed to clarify,
and can be answered with a “yes” or “no”
response.
Open-ended questions are designed to get
more information, and cannot be answered by
a simple “yes” or “no.”
15. Another questioning technique is called the
one-point solution. The characteristics of the
“one-point solution” are the following:
• Identifies an urgent concern
• Focuses on one issue at a time
• Forces a choice
• Leads to a specific solution
16. You can use several words, such as ”one“
”.or ”best“ or ”top
Examples:
2. What is the one thing we can do to
increase our safety effectiveness on the
job?
3. What is our top priority in the shop
this week?
4. When is the best time to conduct
safety training?
17. Please Avoid!
« « The loaded question
This means that the person asking the
question “loads” the expected answer into the
question. The response expected is presumed
within the question. The classic example is:
• When did you stop beating your kids?
The question presumes that you beat your
kids!
18. CONFLICT, CRITICISM, ANGER
Dealing with Conflict:
There are three basic ways to deal effectively in
conflict situations:
1. Listen carefully to determine the nature of the
conflict
2. Identify areas of agreement
3. Allow the other person a way out
19. Obstacles to Resolving Conflict
• Judging a problem too quickly
• Searching for a single answer, and believing
ours is the best
• Assumption of either/or (either it’s my way or
not at all)
• Deciding that “the problem is theirs, not mine”
20. How to Overcome Obstacles
• Is it worth fighting over?
• Can it be negotiated?
• Do I want to win the argument more than win
a relationship?
And:
• Separate people from the problem
• Focus on interests, not positions
• Strive for mutual gain
21. Negotiation, Persuasion, Mediation
Realize who is the distressed, unhappy, or
concerned individual.
Remember, your behavior is in your control.
You cannot control another’s behavior, except
by changing your own actions toward that
individual.
22. There are at least three tools to use to
:effect behavior change
• Negotiation: Arranging or managing through
discussion or compromise
• Persuasion: To move by argument to a new
position or belief
• Mediation: Intervening in conflict with intent to
resolve through discussion
23. Techniques: one-point solution
This technique involves getting feedback in the
communication process, and involves open-ended
questions.
E.X.:
Asking for a specific response like, “What is the one
thing that will make you change your mind?” If you
only get one response it is usually something specific
to use as the basis for negotiating a solution.
24. :Examples
• What is one thing I could change in my behavior?
• What one training program could I attend to help me
the most?
• What is one question I should ask that I haven’t yet?
• What is one new service we could offer to put us
ahead of competitors?
• What is one thing you think we need to do to work
together better?
25. :Tips for Resolving Conflict
• Seek agreement or common ground
• Refuse to argue
• Seek commitment and action to change
• Plot the follow up
• Deliver on promises
26. Criticism
• Avoid doing so publicly.
• Do not store up criticism and deliver it all at once.
• Choose the teachable moment and offer a one-point
solution.
• Avoid using others as good examples because this
compares one person to another, and can embarrass
people unnecessarily.
• Use phrases that foster teamwork and offer
suggestions for improvement, not merely blame.

28. Tips for Effective Criticism
• Direct your criticism at behavior, not the person
• Say something positive
• Identify behavior that can be fixed or changed
• Avoid use of the word “you”
• Avoid negative words like “no, not, never, shouldn’t”
• Offer specific ways to make changes in behavior
(doable action)
29. Controlling Anger
• Practice good listening skills (remain silent if
necessary)
• Avoid interruption
• Acknowledge anger (do not tell an angry
person, "Now, don't be angry")
30. • Do not yell or lecture angry people (it
disrespects their points of view)
• Be responsive by verifying the person's
message
• Be specific about what you are going to do to
help
• Allow angry people a way out regardless of
what they say
Editor's Notes
First, you must want to improve your communication skills. Next, you must understand them, and recognize their importance in the communication process. Then, you need to learn some new skills. Finally, you must practice good skills to become a better, more effective communicator.
Whether you write a letter, a memo, or an email message, written communication can be recalled word for word. Writing lasts a long time. So, think carefully about written communication.

Remeber: Present information in the form of facts. The six W’s in the communication process? Agreement or at least presentation of information can lead to discovering ways to persuade individuals involved in conflict. Persuasion involves using information to convince others that there is more than one way to look at an issue. Mediation usually introduces a third party to the conflict in an effort to resolve problems.
