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.

JMeter webinar - integration with InfluxDB and GrafanaRTTS
Watch this recorded webinar about real-time monitoring of application performance. See how to integrate Apache JMeter, the open-source leader in performance testing, with InfluxDB, the open-source time-series database, and Grafana, the open-source analytics and visualization application.
In this webinar, we will review the benefits of leveraging InfluxDB and Grafana when executing load tests and demonstrate how these tools are used to visualize performance metrics.
Length: 30 minutes
Session Overview
-------------------------------------------
During this webinar, we will cover the following topics while demonstrating the integrations of JMeter, InfluxDB and Grafana:
- What out-of-the-box solutions are available for real-time monitoring JMeter tests?
- What are the benefits of integrating InfluxDB and Grafana into the load testing stack?
- Which features are provided by Grafana?
- Demonstration of InfluxDB and Grafana using a practice web application

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.

5. About this presentation:
• An attempt to give some initial guidance to those who want to
engage into (or organize) the farming / slaughtering / retailing of
pork meat and get as close as possible to OIE & CODEX
international standards.
• Issues / Solutions / Good Practices at various stages of the value
chain and for various private and public stakeholders:
• Strategic planning.
• Farming.
• Slaughtering.
• Marketing / Retailing / Catering.
• Laboratories.
• Veterinary Administration.
6. The level of upgrades in pork value chain depends
on the current situation and expected objectives.
• Backyard pigs for very local consumption:
• Biological hazards > chemical hazards.
• Focus on zoonotic diseases.
• Focus on basic hygiene at house-slaughtering.
• Small & medium scale fatteners for “within-the-district” consumption:
• Focus on chemical residues & zoonotic diseases.
• Focus on higher hygiene at slaughter slabs & small slaughterhouses.
• Medium & large-scale fatteners for urban markets:
• Focus even more on chemical residues.
• Implement strict hygiene practices in well-designed & well-operated small /
medium slaughterhouses, with basic chilling facilities.
• Should be the only ones allowed to sell outside district/province.
