Research Panel: Untangling the Consumer Attitude/Behavior Gap - Joseph StatonSustainable Brands
If consumers are becoming ever more aware of and interested in global environmental and social challenges, why is their behavior largely not reflective of this? How is it that those who buy the most stuff feel the least 'consumer guilt,' while still expressing the highest levels of awareness? Recent studies have found these and other perplexing contradictions between consumer beliefs, on the one hand, and purchasing behaviors on the other. To help us understand the consumer psyche on a deeper level, through hard facts and a healthy dose of empathy, we are joined by a stellar research panel of domain experts.

Presentation to the Canadian Evaluation Society Annual Conference, Ottawa, June 2, 2009
Innovative evaluation methods and tools are emerging in the fields of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social enterprise. The focus of these innovations is the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by CSR and social enterprise, which is of interest to social investors, “philanthrocapitalists” and governments.
This panel will summarize findings-in-process from ongoing applications in these spheres in Ontario, Ghana and other developing-world settings. There are advantages and challenges in applying “blended value” approaches that the presenters will examine. The panelists will also discuss the implications of these findings for the theory and practice of evaluation.

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 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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Mobilizing AR4D partnerships to improve access to critical animal-source foods
1. Mobilizing AR4D partnerships
to improve access to critical animal-
source foods
Tom Randolph
GCARD 2 Pre-Conference Meeting
Punta de Este, Uruguay, 27 October 2012
2. The flow
1. How we have framed the context for the Program
2. Our approach: what is different
3. The critical role of development partnerships
4. The development partnership challenge
(and our objective today!)
3. The challenge
Can research accelerate livestock and aquaculture
development to benefit the poor?
o Mixed record to date
o Systematic under-investment
o Also related to our research-for-development model?
Focus of new CGIAR Research Program
o Increase productivity of small-scale systems
o ‘by the poor’ poverty reduction
o ‘for the poor’ food security
4. Correcting perceptions
1. Animal-source foods are a luxury and bad for health, so
should not promote
2. Small-scale production and marketing systems are
disappearing; sector is quickly industrializing
3. Livestock and aquaculture development will have
negative environmental impacts
5. Our underlying hypothesis
Livestock and Blue Revolutions: accelerating demand in
developing countries as urbanization and incomes rise
Industrial systems will provide a large part of the needed
increase in supply to cities and the better-off in some
places
But the poor will often continue to rely on small-scale
production and marketing systems
If able to respond, they could contribute, both increasing
supplies and reducing poverty
…and better manage the transition for
many smallholder households
6. Managing the transition
Estimates for smallholders in Africa and Latin America
(Wiggins 2012; Dorward 2009) :
1/3 Will ‘step up’ to become commercial
farmers
1/3 Will ‘step out’ and work for other, go to
the city
1/3 Could go either way
Can 2/3 be enabled to develop into commercial
producers, accumulate capital and transition out of
agriculture?

10. A smarter approach?
Drawing from recent experiences, can we accelerate
research to impact?
Objective of new CGIAR Research
Program on Livestock and Fish
11. Goal
More milk, meat and fish by and for the poor
To sustainably increase the productivity of
small-scale livestock and fish systems to increase
the availability and affordability of animal-source
foods for poor consumers and,
in doing so, reduce poverty through greater
participation by the poor along the whole value
chains for animal-source foods.
12. Basic Idea: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
Traditional approach was piecemeal
Past research has focused specific aspects
of given value chains, commodities and country.
Consumers

13. Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
#1: Addressing the whole value chain
#2+3: Working directly to impact at scale with development partners
R4D integrated to transform selected value chains
In targeted commodities and countries.

20. The AR4D Partnership Challenge
‘Partnership’ often form of subcontracting
Recent experiences highlight difficulties
Different motivations, ways of measuring success
Different ways of working: timeliness, definition of
evidence
21. The AR4D Partnership Challenge
Development view of Research partners
Too slow, inefficient
Imposes own solution, doesn’t listen
Extractive, doesn’t feed back
Doesn’t share credit
Research view of Development partners
Executes a formula without analysis
No rigorous evaluation, so limited ‘learning’
Driven by the anecdotal
Identified as a ‘critical success factor’ to achieve
impact in our program
Head of Development Partnership as member of
management team
22. Our objective today
Analyse what makes AR4D partnerships work/fail
How do their incentives to partner align/differ?
How do their expectations align/differ?
What principles, processes, modalities help create
healthy partnership?
23. Output: a partnership strategy
Purpose: create and nurture effective partnership
between research and development actors for an
accelerated AR4D process to achieve impact at scale
Strategic objectives: what will success look like?
Number of partnerships established meeting
criteria?
% of funds mobilized by development partners
Development partners sharing in governance?
Critical success factors:
Ex. Articulating a common purpose
Actions?
24. CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
livestockfish.cgiar.org
CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR Research
Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems in sustainable
ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
Editor's Notes
Although annual per capita fish consumption in Low-Income Food Deficit Countries (LIFDCs) has been growing the rate of growth has been small. Moreover, in southern Africa, where fish constitutes more than half of all animal protein consumed, per capita consumption has actually been falling due to a combination of population growth, static or reducing supplies from capture fisheries, increased cost of imports and the failure of aquaculture.
A weakness of our research approach to date has been its piecemeal nature. By this I mean…To address this, our initiative is adopting 4 key features for a ‘business unusual’ approach
