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.

submit to the journal and why the paper is suitable for
the journal
Talk about why the work is interesting and important
Include declarations required by the journal (e.g., that all
authors approve the submission, author contributions,
ethics declarations)
12
13. Introduction
Sets the context for the study and problem. Several readers may not
understand the significance of your study right away, so it’s best to
use general language and carefully developed logic to guide readers
to the main problem/objective of the study.
13
15. Introduction
Tips
Describe the rationale for undertaking the study
Explain how the research makes an important contribution to
the field or advances knowledge
State the research question clearly

aims to understand or resolve, citing studies to support your
arguments
Summarize the current state of knowledge on the topic, citing
studies as appropriate
15
16. Methods
This section is the most specific to your study. A primary criterion for
well-conducted research is that it must be replicable. This will
enable another researcher to reproduce the results by following the
methods detailed in your paper.
16
18. Methods
Tips
Provide full details of all methods, techniques, and instruments
Include an image or diagram of the experimental setup
Describe the questionnaire, survey, or other data collection

Generalizations of the results
20
21. Results
Tips
Use tables and figures effectively to present results in a
manner that’s easy to understand at a glance
Explain what the results are saying, rather than simply
stating the statistical data (e.g., “X was found to
substantially increase with Y [followed by statistical data]”
rather than “X and Y had a positive correlation of .73”)
21
22. Discussion
This section extends the specific results to their broader
implications, which can then be tied in with the general
background given in the introduction. Readers should understand
what the research/data is saying and how and why.
22
24. Discussion
Tips
Start by stating whether the hypothesis was supported
Interpret the results: what do the results imply?
Relate the findings to those of previous studies, for
example, whether the results support or deviate from
results in previous studies
Explain how the study adds to previous knowledge
Mention possible alternative explanations for the
results
Address the limitations of the study
24
26. Conclusion
Common errors
Oversell the research or “overgeneralize” the
results, that is, stretch the study findings to
provide suggestions or conclusions that the
research doesn’t really support
Simply summarize the results
26
27. Conclusion
Tips
Explain what the authors have learned from the study
Ensure that the conclusion is directly related to the research
question and stated purpose of the study
Elaborate on the broader implications of the research
Suggest specific future avenues of research to advance the
knowledge that’s been gained from the study or answer
questions that your study did not address
27
28. References
Common errors
The references in the text (citations) are not
listed in the references section at the end of
the paper
All the sources referred to are not listed in the
references section
28
29. References
Tips
Acknowledging a peer’s work is of utmost
importance. Give credit to the original work
Don’t forget to check that all citations are also
listed in the references section at the end
29
30. Other errors—miscount
Sometimes these changes are introduced
while incorporating review changes. Authors
might add/delete items and forget to update
the corresponding number.
Example: The three dimensions: time, length,
width, and depth
30
32. Other errors—the number zero
Wrong number of zeros or the wrong exponent
Example: 100,000 when you actually mean ten
thousand
32
33. Other errors—the number zero
Tip
To catch this error, you will have to rely on the
context and your subject matter expertise
33
34. Other errors—the number zero
Letter O for 0 and letter I for 1 or vice versa
Example: In 2003, elderly people constituted
1O.6% of India’s population.
34
35. Other errors—the number zero
Tip
Sometimes there is a typo and sometimes it is
difficult to tell. Look out for this error in
equations!

38. The Research Challenge
• You believe you have something to contribute to the
scientific literature
• You believe that your data is good
• You have a hard time writing and expressing yourself in
English
• You are under great pressure to
publish in high-impact peer-reviewed
western journals
38
40. How to Navigate the Process
The Standard Approach:
• Choose the science
• Select the audience
• Select the journal
• Write the manuscript, submit, and hope it is accepted
However, before you even start the process, you need to
understand one very important concept:
40
42. Who Are the Gatekeepers?
Unfortunately
• You are not writing for yourself
• You are not writing for the simple intent of writing
• You are not writing for your career advancement
You are ONLY writing for two “Gatekeepers”
1. The Journal Editor
2. The Peer Reviewer
These are the two people that you need to solve for, and in that
order.
42
43. Who Are the Gatekeepers?
• Always keep in mind that the Journal Editor and the
Peer Reviewer are professionals just like you!
They are:
• Successful in research
• Successful as writers
43
44. The Job of the Journal Editor
The Journal Editor has the job
to determine whether your
manuscript will:
• Interest the journal
readership?
• Advance knowledge in the
field?
• Improve coverage of this
particular topic in the journal?
• Improve the reputation of the
journal and help increase the
journal’s Impact Factor?
44
They are busy people and they
are also thinking about:
• Publication timelines
• High publishing standards
• Budgetary constraints
• Pleasing editorial boards
• Managing staff
• …and many other things!
46. Should You Contact the Journal Editor?
Yes. Absolutely. Have the conversation before you submit the
manuscript…especially, if you have never submitted a paper to
the journal before.
Reasons:
• You will save time if the format or subject matter of the
paper is out of the scope of the journal
• When the manuscript is received, the Journal Editor will
already have a positive perception
• You will no longer be simply a name on a piece of paper
46
48. How Do They Look at Your Paper?
Editorial steps:
• They read the cover letter
• They read the title of the manuscript
• They read the abstract
• They look at the results
• They jump to the discussion and conclusions
… and yes, unfortunately, they look at the names on the by-line to
see if they recognize any well-known researchers.
48
50. Example of a Manuscript Title
Original
How an Editage editor
would edit it
• A study
of Schizosaccharomyces
pombe Mcm4, Mcm6, and
Mcm7
• Expression, purification, and
biochemical characterization
of Schizosaccharomyces
pombe Mcm4, Mcm6, and
Mcm7
• Fatty acyl-CoA reductases of
birds
• Avian fatty acyl-coA
reductases are expressed
together with wax ester
synthases

51. Readability of the English Language
You dno’t have to be raelly smrat to raed tihs. In the
Elgnsih lugnagae it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the
ltteers are in a wrod. The olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht

can sitll raed it wiuthot porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the
huamn barin deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but
lokos for sncetnene and luganage petatnrs.
51
52. Readability of the English Language
You don’t have to be really smart to read this. In the
English language it doesn't matter in what order the
letters are in a word. The only important thing is that
the first and last letters are positioned in the right
place. The rest of the letters can be jumbled and you
can still read it without problem. This is because the
human brain does not read every letter by itself, but
looks for sentence and language patterns.
52
54. So Where Do You Start?
Before your manuscript reaches the Journal Editor, evaluate
the manuscript carefully:
• Have you selected the right manuscript structure and
journal for your research?
• Are your findings complete?
• Is your study novel?
• How will your study advance knowledge in the field?
• Have you followed the journal guidelines?
• Are there any grammatical or typographical errors?
54
56. Structural Elements to Consider
Did you follow the standard IMRAD scientific format when
writing your manuscript?
Introduction | Materials + Methods | Results | (and) | Discussion
Did you review the Instructions for Authors for the
journal?
56
57. This resource also contains links to some of the most respected research
and authorship guidelines, such as ICMJE, COPE, CONSORT, etc.
