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.

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.

Creating the Hook
The idea to create the large-
scale, outdoor digital art gallery
at Victory Plaza grew out of the
need for a hook to establish
Victory Park as a top destina-
tion, notes Ken Reese, Hillwood
executive vice president for
Victory Park. The concept was
envisioned as a way to add
hip, sophisticated energy to the
development’s refined, contem-
porary atmosphere. Its location
in front of American Airlines
Center enhanced the opportunity
to attract sports spectators and
concert-goers.
“The concept was to essen-
tially create an ‘urban living
room’ – our own version of Times
Square for Dallas,” suggests
Richard Orne.
The project scope included a
conceptual study to analyze the
feasibility of combining media and
architecture, estimate costs and

ing and content requirements.
Nuts and Bolts
The resulting project is arguably the world’s largest
configuration of outdoor video
displays, with 11 gigantic LED
screens, all manufactured by the
Belgium firm Barco.
Two 20- by 20-foot screens
atop the Icon Tower on the
southern end of the plaza cre-
ate a highly visible marker for
the overall Victory Park com-
munity while a 19- by 32-foot
digital portal welcomes visi-
tors at the plaza’s main Olive
Street entrance.
Eight screens move hori-
zontally along 200-foot-long
tracks on façades of the two
modern office buildings that
flank the plaza. The video
screens, four on each building,
can move separately to provide infinite configuration pos-
sibilities for showcasing digital art and animation or com-
bine to form two huge 31- by 53-foot screens for viewing
films and other information.
Combined with LED displays, the computer-operated
movement system, fabricated and programmed by Barco,
consumed one-third of the total project budget. This innova-
tive system allows video, sound, and lighting special effects
to be choreographed with screen configurations.
B&K surround-sound processors immerse spectators in
sound from clusters of custom JBL AM Series speakers, with
Crown CTs Series amplifiers equipped with PIP-USP3 process-
ing cards strategically mounted along building walls.
A Peavey Nion digital audio platform allows special
sound effects to track with screen movements. In a Target
commercial, for example, the sound of the company’s famil-
iar red ball follows the image as it bounces from screen to
screen, explains Steve Whittle, project engineer with Dallas-
based The Whitlock Group, the systems integrator.
A theatrical lighting system enhances the nighttime
experience, expanding the range of video displays across
building facades. High End Systems Hog PC programming and
playback wings allow prepro-
grammed light shows choreo-
graphed for specific programs to
be digitally stored. This system
works hand-in-hand with a DMX
repeater and Patch Bay digital
processor that samples and
analyzes image colors in real
time, then duplicates them in
colored light painted on build-
ing façades.
Concept to Reality
Bringing Victory Plaza to life
in a purposeful and aesthetically
enduring way required the heavy
lifting involved in developing a
prototype. Everything that went
into the project had to be fabri-
cated, configured or programmed, then tested and refined.
From the start, Hillwood wanted a design that integrates
the technology with the architecture so it looks like part of
the building. To accomplish this, Orne used decorative wire
mesh scrims to create a backdrop on the exterior walls of the
five-story buildings to blend tracks and other hardware with
the façade. Surprisingly, the wire mesh enhanced sound
acoustics while producing a layering effect that allows light
to reach windows blocked by screens and shades unob-
structed windows from the sun.
Mounting screens on gliders was an idea borrowed from
the video network at Las Vegas Fashion Show mall – also
designed by Orne – and ensures that none of the office win-
dows are blocked permanently.
The client also wanted the technology to be infinitely
flexible so content could be changed at a moment’s notice.
Victory Park Screens is inherently flexible but spontaneity
QUOTE FROM JUDGE
★ “What this installation is doing goes beyond just
integration between architecture; it actually gets into urban
planning and urban design, and it actually changed the character of
the space for different users during the day and in the night.”
Four 20- by 20-foot LED screens move along on
200 feet of horizontal tracks, providing infinite
possibilities for displaying digital art or animation.
