Tuesday, September 8 2009 Lexington Chamber of Commerce Fall Business Resource Roundtable schedule kicks off with discussion on TWITTER led by Bill Powell of The Serif Group Twitter is the micro-blogging phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. However, few people understand how to use it effectively and its full potential. Bill Powell of The Serif Group uses Twitter and other on-line social networking sites for several of his agency’s clients. He will lead the discussion and talk about the importance of listening while you’re using social media. He will also introduce some on-line tools and tips on how to use Twitter effectively, and discuss why it is important to be in touch with what people are saying about your company and industry. Powell said, “The greatest reason to be a part of social media is the ability to monitor how people define your brand and industry.”

When running an organisation or service that is reliant on the efforts of volunteers, members or a community to run and sustain itself, it can be hard to attract recruits and really tell them what you need help with. Many make it difficult to access information and get involved, with technology making accessing this information easier and easier, why not take advantage of it. In this presentation we look at practical principles and demonstrations on how to set up pages and features on your website to show exactly what you need and how to take action. We'll also look at some general tips, advice and resources for lowering the barriers to getting engagement with your organisation, campaign or product.

This presentation answers some burning questions about those digital hangouts, including: why use those sites, and which sites are important, how much time should be spent there, and what strategies can be used to turn them from interesting toy to useful tool.

To Graph or Not to Graph Knowledge Graph Architectures and LLMs

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.
