Self-tracking technologies and Self-quantification. Jenna_Chambers94
This document discusses self-tracking technologies and self-quantification. It describes how apps like MyFitnessPal, MapMyRun and a sleep tracking app allow users to record metrics about their food intake, workouts, and sleep patterns. These apps use techniques like gamification, social sharing, and comparisons to past performance to motivate users. The document also examines how self-quantification satisfies intrinsic needs for achievement and mastery, as well as extrinsic needs through social rewards. Overall, self-tracking technologies provide a way for people to self-monitor and self-improve using quantifiable metrics.

This document summarizes the key points from the book "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal. It introduces the Hook Model, which describes a four-phase process companies use to form habits in users: 1) trigger, 2) action, 3) variable reward, and 4) investment. The book explains how products can be designed to trigger behaviors, drive actions, intermittently reward with variability, and encourage investment to form repeat habits. It also discusses how new technologies are making it easier for products to form addictive habits and influence behavior, for both good and ill.
To Understand the Eco-System in Digital Media Marketing.Saurabh Giratkar
Title of the Dissertation Report is “To Understand the ecosystem of digital media marketing” and Objectives of the Dissertation are to understand the change in consumer buying behavior in digital era. Methodology used for achieving these objectives is a exploratory research. For achieving the objective, I have done one research using an online questionnaire. The title for the research is “Understand the consumer buying behaviour of Indian in digital era”.
Main findings of this Dissertation are given here. Indian customers are highly information seekers. They collect more information about a product before buying it. Internet penetration in India is key player for this phenomenon. Most of Indians are getting stimulus through advertisements, but they are not reaching to end phase of customers purchase journey, mainly in high involvement purchases. Brands are getting more touch point to reach their target group in this digital era. More details about findings are given this report.
The successful completion of this Dissertation indicates that the future of marketing is in the hands of digital. I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without digital presence”
Advertising in business is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering. Advertising is defined by Richard F. Taflinger as “Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media."

Bootstrapping the Information Architecture (Italian IA Summit)Peter Boersma
When I design, it is in the early stages of an interactive system’s life. There are no widgets to place on screens, or menus to collapse or expand. No wireframes, no screen flows, no accessibility or SEO issues. No search, no controlled vocabulary, no settings screens or personalisation options to design. In short: the project needs to be bootstrapped.
I am involved when a lot of things need to be explored and modelled; the scope and environment of the system, the core concepts that make up its parts, their relationships and their names. So what do we produce in that stage? Mostly so-called concept diagrams.
In this talk, I explain what concept diagrams are, referencing other people’s experiences as well as my own, and how they are useful when a design needs to be bootstrapped. I show how I have used variations of them in recent assignments for KLM and the City of Amsterdam, among others. I will try to convince you that you should create one for each and every situation that needs bootstrapping.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdfChart Kalyan
A Mix Chart displays historical data of numbers in a graphical or tabular form. The Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart specifically shows the results of a sequence of numbers over different periods.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Self-Tracking Technology Acceptance
1. the ascension of commercial
self-tracking tools
factors that influence and increase
self-tracking technology acceptance
by Rachelle DiGregorio
a thesis presented to the SOJC and CHC of the University of Oregon
Let’s get started. Hi everyone, I’m here today to talk to you about the research I did for my undergraduate research
project. The project is called: “The ascension of commercial self-tracking tools: Factors that influence and increase
self-tracking technology acceptance.”
2. self-tracking
Self-tracking is an activity in which a person collects and reflects on their personal information, and the practice is
increasingly facilitated by digital tools in the commercial market. Self-tracking can be anything from counting the
number of steps you take in a day to keeping track of the various locations you visit. Commercial self-tracking
tools are usually simple, oriented around a goal, and easy enough for anyone to use. Think of a simple pedometer
or the mobile application Foursquare.
The collection of personal information is now a commonplace activity as a result of connected devices and the
Internet. Tracking is integrated into so many digital services and devices; it is more or less unavoidable. Self-
tracking allows people to take advantage of these new technological capabilities to learn more about themselves
and reach their goals.
Interest in self-tracking has boomed in the last few years. The topic has been covered by prestigious news outlets
including The New York Times, The Economist,The Guardian, and Forbes. Plus, big brands like Nike, Garmin, and
Nokia have all invested in self-tracking technology.
So my big question is: If the activity of self-tracking is going to continue to grow, how will it happen? What leads to
the acceptance and use of self-tracking tools?
Before I answer this, I’m going to walk you through how I got to self-tracking tools and why I’m interested in the
subject. Then I’ll explain how I went about answering my research question and what I ultimately found.

4. advertising + math
brand story telling + statistical analysis
I started my thesis project by simply trying to connect my two seemingly un-related majors: Advertising and Math
Advertising (as we look at it in the J-school) is a tool for telling brand stories - creating connections that are visual,
interactive and emotional
Math, specifically statistical analysis, is a method for finding the meaning in large complex sets of data
These two areas come together in an interesting way with data visualization
5. telling stories with numbers
Data visualization is, in essence, telling visual stories with numbers. One series of data visualization that really
caught my interest is the Feltron Annual Reports. This is an example from the 2009 edition of the report.
These pieces were created by graphic designer Nickolas Felton, who collects information on almost every aspect of
his life, from relationships, to activities, to food, drink, mood and location and then visualizes it. What’s unique
about this work is that Felton is bringing understanding to himself as the complex data set. He is looking at his
identity and life as a set of numbers to be explained.
all about self-knowledge understanding
started digging in self-tracking, found commercial self-tracking tools, more about action but under same
umbrella
Felton used a website/mobile app he developed, called Daytum, to collect all of this information. Daytum opened
my eyes to the extensive number of digital tools that have been specifically developed to facilitate self-tracking.
6. commercial self-tracking tools
So finally, I arrived at commercial self-tracking tools. These are the tools that are goal oriented and easy to use.
They are fascinating to me because the are so simple, but the effect they can make on a person’s life is very
powerful.
These examples show the variety of tools available for different types of self-tracking.
First, we have the Nike+ Fuelband, which was just released in January. It’s a bracelet-like device that tracks steps,
calories, and “NikeFuel” - a standardized metric that allows people of different body types and athletic abilities to
compare their daily activity. Then, Fitbit, which is very similar to the FuelBand, but tracks a few more things,
including sleep patterns. Then, Foursquare, which allows users to keep track of the locations they visit and earn
points and badges for their “check-ins.” And finally, we have Mint.com, which tracks, combines, and visualizes
financial activity and goals. All of these tools have online and mobile components.
Again, I wanted to find out the factors that influence people to accept these types of tools. Through my primary
research and the literature review that supports it, I found that a person’s perceived usefulness of a tool is the
most influential element in the self-tracking technology acceptance process.
So how did I get to this insight?

So how did I get to this insight?
8. stage-based model of personal informatics
collection reflection
preparation integration action
I started with research in the computer-human interaction field, specifically the work done by Ian Li at Carnegie
Mellon University. His model, the stage-based model of personal informatics, maps out the stages of the self-
tracking process.
This model provided me with a strong understanding of how self-tracking works, specifically with the commercial
tools we just discussed. All of those tools are oriented around a goal, so they focus on the action stage, looking for
self-improvement and change.
Based on this, I realized that I needed to research commercial self-tracking tools as their own unique category.
This is because they are actually different from thorough self-tracking projects like the Feltron Reports, which
emphasize the reflection stage, and present information to improve understanding, not necessarily to take action.
9. technology acceptance model
perceived perceived expected
usefulness ease of use enjoyment
attitude towards use
technology acceptance
So I looked to the Technology Acceptance Model to understand what leads to the use of commercial self-tracking
tools.
This model, developed by Fred Davis in 1986, breaks down the factors that influence the acceptance of a
technology. This is a simplified version, but basically, the model says that a person’s perceived usefulness,
perceived ease of use, and expected enjoyment of a technology influence their attitude towards using that
technology, which then influences their actual use of the tool.
This model is one of the most referenced theories in information technology acceptance and provided a good
basis for my primary research, in which I conducted a survey to measure the perceptions and use of fitness self-
tracking tools. I focused on fitness because it is the most widely used category of self-tracking tools.
10. survey
useful
do fitness tracking tools seem easy to use ?
enjoyable
1 5
no, not at all yes, very much so
The survey’s main question was “do fitness tracking tools seem useful/easy to use/enjoyable?”
Participants selected their answer on a scale from 1 to 5,
where 1 was no, fitness tracking tools don’t seem useful, easy to use, and enjoyable at all.
and 5 is yes, fitness tracking tools seem completely useful, easy to use and enjoyable.
I took all of the answers from those people who have used fitness tracking tools before (about half) to see how
their perceptions led to their use of fitness tracking technology. This is what I found.
The mean answers for perceived usefulness were very positive, with a strong yes at 4.
The mean answers for perceived ease of use and expected enjoyment were considerably lower, edging close to
neutral at 3.
I found more insight into why people answered the way they did through open ended questions. From that
information, it seems that ease of use was more neutral because many people felt that fitness is a complicated set
of information to quantify. Some people also expressed not wanting to bring technology or quantification into
their fitness practices because it was their time to relax and get away from technology.
Expected enjoyment could be more neutral due to people’s feelings about self-tracking in general. While many
people think of it as a useful thing, they don’t necessarily think of it as fun. Some people even expressed that it
was a bit of a chore. My favorite quote from the survey was from participant 31, who said “it’s a tool, not an ice
cream bar.”
I saw a similar pattern when I asked about self-tracking tools in general (before narrowing down to fitness).
Perceptions of ease of use and enjoyment were much lower than usefulness. While the design of the survey
ultimately makes it difficult to prove causation between people’s perceptions and their actual use, because of this
research’s roots in the Technology Acceptance Model, my findings provide decent evidence that a person’s
perception of the usefulness of a tool is the most influential factor on self-tracking technology acceptance.

12. implications
emphasis on usefulness
improve perceptions of ease of use and enjoyment
healthcare
So what does this all mean? I found that perceived usefulness has a large influence on a person’s likelihood to
accept self-tracking tools. This insight has many implications, especially in the marketing of these products.
First, it could mean that in order to increase the use of a certain self-tracking tool, the creators should market its
usefulness, and tell consumers about how it can improve their lives, because perceptions of usefulness directly
lead to use. It could also mean that perceptions in the areas of ease of use and enjoyment can be improved.
Marketers of self-tracking tools could focus on improving these perceptions in hopes that they could become
more influential in the acceptance process.
In the big scheme of things, self-tracking is a technology trend that is taking hold in the consumer market.
Leaders of self-tracking innovation frame the practice as a new context for knowledge-making. It is more
than just a few people's hobby, it is a lens through which we can see and create the world around us. An
understanding of self-tracking and the tools that facilitate it are vital to our assessment of society's digital
evolution.
