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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

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.
De-mystifying Zero to One: Design Informed Techniques for Greenfield Innovati...
PALS: Tech Support is Reference!
1. Thingamabobs and Doodads:Why Tech Support IS Reference Mary Kelly marykelly48@gmail.com http://practicallibrarian.blogspot.com www.slideshare.net/marykelly48
2. What is a Reference Question? “Information contact which involves the knowledge, use, recommendations, interpretation, or instruction in the use of …information sources” Print, non-print, databases, and catalogs In person, by phone, by fax, by mail, or by email from an adult, a young adult, or a child. -from Public Library Statistics Cooperative for Public Library Data
4. The naysayers: “Libraries are not computer support centers!” I am a librarian, NOT a computer troubleshooter.
5. …but they should becomputer support centers! Relevancy Library mission Marketing Staff development When people choose the library, it says a lot about their expectations.
6. Public Perception Refusing tech support makes the library look irrelevant and unhelpful. Patrons just need help. Not their responsibility to know what they can ask of whom.
7. Familiarity and Effort Go a Long Way “…support is about more than just having an answer. It’s having an answer that someone can use. If someone is frustrated and you frustrate them even more by giving short, cryptic, or peripheral answers, and by ignoring his/her emotional state, you’re not really being as supportive as you can” – D. Scott Brandt in How Not to Market Your Tech Support
8. “But I don’t have time.” Do you have time to do traditional reference? Triage One-on-one appointments Public instruction classes
9. “But Tech Support/My Boss Won’t Let Me!” Communicate with Tech Support/Boss Giving staff access Giving the public access
10. What’s in it for the Tech Staff? Contribution to the library’s mission They learn each department’s function Contribute ideas/projects beyond fixing broken stuff Staff learns Tech Department’s point of view
11. Core Competencies Web Junction: http://www.webjunction.org Competency Index for the Library Field webjunction.org/competencies TechAtlas Staff Skills Survey http://www.webjunction.org/techatlas
12. Core Competencies Attitude Learning how to put it back on you when patron doesn’t get it Teach without being defensive
13. Core Competencies PC basics Knowledge of library’s public computer setup Ability to fix small problems quickly Help tech support staff identify bigger issues
14. Core Competencies Data management Saving and retrieving information on any device that stores data File extensions
15. Core Competencies Fundamentals of web pages Web browsers Printing - frames Blogs and wikis Plug-ins Displaying languages in various scripts Not displaying images Blaming the web page vs. blaming the library
16. Core Competencies Internet sources Collection of ready reference sources Online directories and databases Using search engines effectively When to use search engine vs. other internet source Internet as a workaround to other problems
17. Core Competencies Web 2.0 Social networking Second Life Gaming Chat Streaming audio/video
26. The Great Disclaimer Touching people’s stuff Sharing information without “advice” Don’t claim to be expert
27. Scenario #1 “My laptop won’t connect to the library’s wi-fi network”
28. Scenario #2 (For the 5th time today, 5 days in a row, from the same patron): “How do I send a file to someone by email?”
29. Scenario #3 It’s 4:00pm on a weekday. The computers are filled up. The reference desk is hopping. A line is forming. The phone is ringing. A very sweet elderly patron says she doesn’t know anything about “that interweb” but she heard you could get coupons online.
30. Scenario #4 “I’ve got a stack of 300 old photos. How can I scan them …and what do I do with them once they are scanned?”
31. Scenario #5 (Bonus Slide!) “I am supposed to help interview and hire a technology staff person. How do I hire a person that will do the job or be able to work with us when I am not a techie?”
32. Tech Training Tips Make tutorials or podcasts Wink, Cam Studio, ReadtheWords.com Assign Tech Buddies
33. Resources for Tech Training YouTube.com TeacherTube.com VideoJug.com 5min.com eHow.com Videos Instructables.com Tutorialized.com InPics.net MakeUseOf.com
34. Resources for Tech Training TechSoup for Libraries http://www.techsoupforlibraries.org/ “Cookbooks” on subjects like: Planning and Decision Making Communication and Partnerships Buying and Deploying Technology Maintaining and Sustaining Technology Networking and Security Innovation
35. Resources for Tech Training http://www.webjunction.org Learn about: Technology planning Performing computer inventories Surveys for determining technology needs Providing tech support Buying technology Emerging technology Security
36. Resources for Tech Training http://www.libsuccess.org Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki Access Implementing Tech in the Library Information Sharing and Education
