Chatbots and Digital Assistant AnalysisDavid Wright
Digital assistants like Siri and chatbots on messaging platforms could help brands interact directly with customers at scale. However, usability tests found that people expect assistants to have high conversational abilities and include the brand in responses. Behavioral analyses showed most assistant queries are brief, fact-based questions rather than open conversations. Facebook brand page analysis found many customer posts go unanswered and interactions can include complex conversation chains. A chatbot prototype had success with structured surveys but struggled with open-ended conversations that people often abandoned quickly. While chatbots offer opportunities, the complexity of managing open-ended conversations means early brand bots will likely focus on structured, succinct exchanges.
Digital Life Assistant (DiLA) is an AI system that uses intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extrapersonal information to provide personalized recommendations. DiLA identifies personal attributes and assesses preferences through personal identification. It then gives recommendations based on the user's finances, health, social interactions, and external factors like weather and news. One example is a fashion assistant that uses smart wardrobe, scheduling, social media and location data to recommend fashion trends tailored to the individual.
Las aplicaciones ya no son el medio de experiencia. Es el turno de que servicios inmediatos y accesibles como el SMS creen nuevas experiencias basadas en una interface conversacional con el usuario.
The document proposes an updated idea for a personal motivation mobile application. The original idea involved an app connected to an electronic device that administered shocks if daily goals were not met. The updated idea involves an app with plugins for social media platforms that monitors daily activities and goals, and reports whether goals were reached, without the electronic shock device. Eliminating the shock device simplifies partnerships and increases exposure through social media, but also eliminates revenue from device sales. The value proposition of the new app includes tracking calories from a pedometer, sharing success through social contacts, accountability from sharing goal completion, and daily motivational messages.

Natural language processing (NLP) involves developing systems that allow computers to understand and communicate using human language. NLP aims to understand syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It addresses challenges like ambiguity, where a sentence can have multiple possible meanings. Syntactic parsing is the process of analyzing a sentence's structure using a context-free grammar to produce a parse tree. Top-down and bottom-up parsing are two approaches to syntactic parsing where top-down starts with the start symbol and bottom-up starts with the sentence's terminal symbols.

The new era of bots, multi-channel messaging solutions, dynamic routing and a...Nicola Junior Vitto
We are entering a new era where it seems that everything can be managed via chatbots (instead of apps full of “messy” UIs).
Messaging is becoming “liquid”, channels are increasing, for P2P messages SMS are falling down while Whatsapp and other IMs surpassed every other communication channel in history.
What will be a possible future? How can we organize and aggregate everything, solving the complexity and gaining momentum from all the opportunities?
Dr. Robert Jarvik invented the artificial heart in the 1970s to help patients suffering from heart disease. The artificial heart works as a replacement for a failing heart by pumping blood through the body. It made America's list of greatest inventions because it extended many lives by giving patients more time until a heart transplant could be performed.

Final 559 Presentation: Information Literacy, Web 2.0, and Public LibrariesUBC
The document discusses using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to teach information literacy skills to patrons in public libraries. It defines information literacy and social media, and examines how libraries can help patrons understand and evaluate information from these sources. The author provides recommendations for libraries to create social media accounts, engage patrons on these platforms, and demonstrate how to use and cite information from social media sources through hands-on instruction and opportunities to experiment.
The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools like social networking sites, wikis, RSS feeds, and media sharing sites and their implications for libraries. It encourages libraries to embrace these new technologies and allow users to collaboratively share and generate knowledge using the library's online spaces. Some specific Web 2.0 tools highlighted include wikis for knowledge sharing among library staff and patrons, Twitter for news and event monitoring, Flickr and YouTube for media sharing, and SlideShare for sharing presentations. The document argues that libraries must actively engage with these new technologies and platforms or risk being left out of important conversations.
1) Libraries are shifting from traditional Library 1.0 models to new Library 2.0 models that are more collaborative, digital, and accessible online rather than being tied to physical spaces.
2) Library marketing also needs to shift from traditional print-based methods to new online and social media methods like blogs, tweets, Facebook posts, and Flickr photo sharing in order to engage more library patrons who are increasingly using these technologies.
3) When marketing through social media, libraries should publicize events, share interesting stories and photos, and keep patrons regularly updated through approaches like maintaining a Twitter feed and Facebook page. This helps libraries better connect with their communities in the new Library 2.0 environment.

The document provides guidance on providing effective feedback for responses on the ipl2 platform. It lists elements that make for good feedback such as being specific, kind, encouraging, and providing both praise and constructive criticism. Potential issues to address in feedback include adherence to policies, search techniques, readability, thoroughness, and source quality. An example student response to a question about constellations is provided, along with feedback on that response. Suggestions are made for how the feedback could be improved.
There are three mandatory elements to citing sources in digital reference responses:
1) Name the source and include the title and URL or information on how to locate it if it is a print source.
2) Provide direct links to the web pages containing the answer, or the most direct link if a direct link is not possible, along with instructions to help the user find the information.
3) Briefly explain the reasons for selecting the source to help the user understand the selection process and why that source is particularly useful for answering their question.
The document provides guidelines for volunteers answering questions at a digital reference service, including:
- Providing 2-4 sources to answer questions while verifying information
- Stating the answer directly if possible, or providing sources that together answer the question
- Using age-appropriate language and sources for different audiences
- Explaining any departures from the original question and providing additional helpful information
- Avoiding non-authoritative sources like Q&A sites and instead using techniques for finding reliable sources
The document provides guidelines for writing search descriptions when responding to questions as a digital reference librarian. Key points include keeping descriptions short but informative, listing search steps, and providing full URLs and search details to allow users to replicate searches in databases, search engines, and subject directories. Descriptions should teach search techniques and explain how to access paywalled or library-required sources.
The document discusses conducting a reference interview when answering digital reference questions. It provides guidance on using the "Ask_Info" feature in the question answering interface to request additional details from the user. The "Ask_Info" script should be customized for the specific question and include at least one relevant source. Student volunteers must follow up if the user replies and notify staff if unable to answer after the reference interview.
This document provides guidance on locating and searching for sources to answer user questions for the Ask an ipl2 Librarian digital reference service. It discusses using free web sources when possible but also licensed electronic and print sources if needed. It outlines several types of sources to consider including referrals, directories, search engines, and the deep web. Key directories mentioned are the ipl2 and its FAQs, pathfinders, and special collections. The document teaches search techniques like identifying keywords and using Boolean logic to create effective search statements to fully answer users' questions.
This document provides guidance on evaluating information sources for use in answering questions on an online reference service. It outlines six criteria for evaluating sources: authority, currency, objectivity, coverage, accuracy/verifiability, and relevance. For each criterion, it provides examples and questions to consider to determine how well the source meets that standard of evaluation.

The document discusses the top 10 pitfalls to avoid when answering reference questions using an email-based reference service. Some of the key pitfalls include not practicing with sample questions, relying on a single source without further research, treating sources like Wikipedia or search engines as authoritative, and providing too much unsolicited information or advice without directly answering the question. The document emphasizes practicing reference skills, evaluating multiple sources, and directly answering the question while providing useful source information.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
