The way people see a web page or digital design strongly affects its utility and the meaning that they take away. Gestalt principles tell people how to perceive visual objects, what they mean, and how they relate to one another within the user's experience. Design with these principles in mind to meet users' needs and leave a positive impression.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
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.
30. Clarity
• Tell your users upfront what they
need to do and what they can expect
subsequently
• Strengthen the impact of the
message
• Promote simplicity, elegance, class
and refinement
31. Consistency
• If you set your rules in the beginning,
make sure you keep them till the end
• Applies to layout, colour, images, icons,
typography and text
• Within screen, across screens
• Stay within metaphor everywhere
• Platform may have a style guide -
Follow it!
32. Contrast
• Support skimming and tell things
apart
• Lead the user’s eye to next action
• Help distinguish important items
• Help quick decision-making for
users
35. Use whitespace
In page layout, illustration and sculpture, white space is often referred
to as negative space. It is the portion of a page left unmarked: margins,
gutters, and space between columns, lines of type, graphics, figures,
or objects drawn or depicted. The term arises from graphic design
practice, where printing processes generally use white paper. White
space should not be considered merely 'blank' space — it is an
important element of design which enables the objects in it to exist at
all; the balance between positive (or non-white) and the use of negative
spaces is key to aesthetic composition. Inexpert use of white space,
however, can make a page appear incomplete.
40. Alignment
• Allows eye to parse display more
easily
• Group items logically
• Guide the user’s eyes though the
content
• Conform to Gestalt Principles
41. Grids
• are (hidden) horizontal and vertical
lines to help locate components
• Align related things
• Group items logically
43. How to use colors
• Display colour images on black background
• Choose bright foreground colour (white, bold green…)
• Be sure foreground colours contrast in both brightness and hue
with background colours
• Use colour to draw attention, communicate organisation, to
indicate status, to establish relationships
• Avoid using colour in non-task related ways
47. Typography
Typography (from the
Greek words τύπος (typos)
= form and γραφή
(graphe) = writing) is the
art and technique of
arranging type in order to
make language visible. The
arrangement of type
involves the selection of
typefaces, point size, line
length,leading (line
spacing), adjusting the
spaces between groups of
letters (tracking) and
adjusting the space
between pairs of letters.
48. Considerations
• Characters and symbols should be
easily noticeable and distinguishable.
• AVOID HEAVY USE OF UPPERCASE.
• Studies have found that mixed case
promotes faster reading.
49. • Readability
How easy is it to read a lot of text
• Legibility
How easy is it to recognise a short
burst of text
• Typeface = font
(not really, but close enough)
50. Types of Types
Serif Sans-serif Monospace
Decorative Script Handwriting
51. Weight of Types
Regular
Medium
Light
Ultra Light
Italic
Heads up:
Mobile applications generally do
not use italics. Even light and
ultra light types are rare.
Light Italic
Ultra Light Italic
Bold
Bold Italic
54. Icon
Small picture or symbol serving as a
quick, "intuitive" representation of a
software tool, function or a data file
accessible on the system.
55. Types of Icons
• Launcher Icon
• Menu Icon
• Notification Icon
• Tab Icon
• Status Icon
• List Icon
56. Considerations
• Be consistent with UI workflows, types and buttons
• Make touch mode “hit areas” large enough
• Use big readable fonts and large icons
• Integrate tightly with other applications
• Keep localisation in mind
• Encourage thumbing by default
68. The Rule
Imagine a canvas as divided into
nine equal parts by two equally
spaced horizontal lines and two
equally spaced vertical lines, and
that important compositional
elements should be placed along
these lines or their intersections.
71. Read and understand the Human Interaction
Guidelines laid down by popular platforms.
