DianaGray10

Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to: Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons) Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review But there’s more: In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see: Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

UiPath Test Automation using UiPath Test Suite series, part 4

DianaGray10

Welcome to UiPath Test Automation using UiPath Test Suite series part 4. In this session, we will cover Test Manager overview along with SAP heatmap. The UiPath Test Manager overview with SAP heatmap webinar offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of the role of a Test Manager within SAP environments, coupled with the utilization of heatmaps for effective testing strategies. Participants will gain insights into the responsibilities, challenges, and best practices associated with test management in SAP projects. Additionally, the webinar delves into the significance of heatmaps as a visual aid for identifying testing priorities, areas of risk, and resource allocation within SAP landscapes. Through this session, attendees can expect to enhance their understanding of test management principles while learning practical approaches to optimize testing processes in SAP environments using heatmap visualization techniques What will you get from this session? 1. Insights into SAP testing best practices 2. Heatmap utilization for testing 3. Optimization of testing processes 4. Demo Topics covered: Execution from the test manager Orchestrator execution result Defect reporting SAP heatmap example with demo Speaker: Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)

Ralf Eggert

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development. This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
