The document provides an evaluation of a media product (a magazine) based on 7 questions. It summarizes the ways the magazine product uses and develops conventions of real magazines through its cover design, masthead, images, and other features. It also analyzes the represented social groups, potential distributing institutions, intended audience, and technologies learned. Comparisons are made between the magazine product's conventions and those found in actual published magazines.

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.

Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles
91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
3. 1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
4. Cover features Created a unique masthead with the ‘FRET’ text designed to look like an actual guitar fret, which relates to the large guitar input within indie music. Also fits nicely with regard to the positioning of the background image. Date positioned at the bottom of the masthead Specifically designed logo that is carried throughout the whole magazine. Dominant main image. Contains a barcode to pass regulations if it were a real magazine and give an impression of professionalism. Also gives potential buyers information regarding the price. Informative page numbers stated Issue number and price displayed. Main cover line relating to the main image and standing out from the other smaller cover lines as it is the largest text on the cover excluding the masthead. Cover lines corresponding with the colours of the main cover line attracting aesthetically to the audience with sub lines used to elaborate on these. Clear footer with related bands that will feature inside Puff line used to attract the reader and summarise the general purpose of the magazine. Guitar shaped shocker Adding variety and originality One main image which emphasises the main appeal of the magazine effectively. Vibrant shocker providing information about what is contained in the magazine.
5. Actual magazine similarities Large masthead/logo which allows the reader to immediately recognise the magazine. Main cover line which stands out Barcode Smaller cover lines Page numbers One large main cover image Footer with list of bands Shocker Direct quotes Use of yellow Selling or puff line Multiple models The date
6. Actual magazine differences Other cover images Header External logos Innovatively shaped shocker Dynamic shot(jumping in the air) Captions Use of the glow effect
7. Contents page features Large contents title at the top of the page. Created two different categories, one regular section with consistent features and a section which relates to the images usually already established on the cover. Contents subscription information Varied photographs used Continued colour scheme Page numbers incorporated at the end of the sub lines on order to give the magazine a solid structure. Logo continued to cement the continuity within the magazine. Quick response code incorporated to add an element of professionalism and make the subscription to the magazine as user friendly and easy as possible. Arrow which features as a shocker Issue number Amp like frame design Date suggesting that on the next page there will be an exclusive interview.
8. Actual magazine similarities Both have logo integrated titles at the top of the page Date and issue numbers displayed Use of images with props used Subscription information box Use of a regular section with headings which create divisions and sub lines which provide extra information Large heading/ caption initiating the column text relating to the image. Arrow functioning as a form of shocker Use of red, black and white Large initial letter to begin the main text. Stroke/outlined effect used on the title and logo of my magazine and the logo of the NME magazine Yellow coloured text used in both subscription boxes
9. Actual magazine differences Laid out in an unconventional manor using integrated images as opposed to three standard columns and one picture. Band index incorporated The use of a white background Custom frame made to contain the main image Quick response code used Small informative arrows used relating to the sub lines. Use of different colours for all page numbers A radial gradient applied in the background No effects used in terms of three dimensional effect or shadows. Title section stretches the whole horizontal span of the magazine as opposed to the part way across feature of the NME magazine
10. Double page spread features Continued use of the logo Concise integrated quotes allowing the audience to relate directly to the featured band, coloured in black with white strokes to attract the readers attention. One main image dominating the whole page clarifying the focus of the article and providing direct address. Props like the tambourine and the headphones have been used to highlight their musical purpose. Half of the article is the image Box providing the shock element, it features as a shocker and encourages the reader to find out more about the artists in the image. Contains the date and states the names of the individual band members both coloured in white to stand out effectively from the image.

Main title coloured in white to stand out from the red box, this is relating to the artists in the image. Bold, white text used to increase the aesthetical impression on the reader with integrated drop quote included which is coloured in black with a yellow stroke effect. This contrasts against the main body of text and introduces a conventional element. Laid out in two unconventional columns to enhance the rebellious nature of the magazine. Section which changes the topic from the main body of text and informs the reader on bands that could be of interest and page numbers.
11. Actual magazine similarities Logo/magazine name in the top left hand corner of the image page Main title displaying the name of the band on the image page Extra box featuring as a shocker on the image page Multiple models in the main image Both magazines have devoted the left page to the image and the right to mainly text Use of a drop quote.
