1.1 Sharing Expertise with Computers

2.1 AUI Part 1: Data Ontology

In this episode I talk out my approach for creating an Autogenerated User Interface (AUI).

2.0 Year 1 retrospective

1.3 Relegraphy

In this episode I talk out the concept of relevance as it exists in both tagged data, and graph data. The complexity explored here pertains to the conceptual distance between tags, and the articulatory distance between relationship categories—and the resulting relevance yielded. The scenario used in this episode is based on my work with the New Masters Academy.

1.2 (No)Code Builders

In this episode I discuss why (no) code builders can be counterintuitive for users. The complexity exists in the disconnect between natural language logic and visual conventions of code builder UIs, requiring mental acrobatics Below is the prototype discussed in this episode. https://codepen.io/mattjqueen/full/BaJapod [https://codepen.io/mattjqueen/full/BaJapod] If you liked this episode, shout out to me on twitter [https://twitter.com/docomplexthings] or linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattjqueen/].

1.1 Sharing Expertise with Computers

In this episode we grapple with an obvious complexity. In our scenario of a drone-based shipping service the user and computer can both detect and resolve issues the other can’t—yet must must deal with inevitable unknowns.
