14:12:03 <janina> topic: CG Work
14:12:27 <janina> AdamSobieski: Introduces the CG
14:13:16 <janina> AdamSobieski: Shares slides ...
14:22:08 <janina> AdamSobieski: will email slide deck to Adapt
14:22:53 <janina> matatk: all sounds compelling -- and notes incorporation of Adapt thinking!
14:23:14 <janina> matatk: Asks about CG deliverables?
14:23:48 <janina> AdamSobieski: At this point thinking first of outline functionality
14:25:42 <janina> matatk: Notes the problem of finding the specific adaptation the user may need; sometimes finding that specifif item is the a11y challenge
14:26:21 <matatk> scribe+
14:26:39 <matatk> janina: I'm delighted to hear that cogent and complete overview of what's possible, especially when we throw AI into the mix...
14:27:02 <matatk> ... In the Research Questions TF (RQTF) we are working on a document looking at use casses.
14:27:16 <matatk> ... One problem is finding the right adaptation for the user, and hiding the others.
14:27:34 <matatk> ... Getting these things into a user profile that directs the adaptation would be helpful.
14:27:53 <matatk> ... This need emerged from the Accessibility at the Edge CG (looking at post-source accessibility).
14:28:24 <matatk> ... Can be powerful to apply rule-based adaptations at that stage - or even more powerful, AI-based ones.
14:29:11 <matatk> ... I think we want to think about hiding things that are problems for users - e.g. adapting foreground and background color isn't relevant for me. If you know that context and we can set that in a predictable way, that would be helpful. I don't want to repeat that with every AI I use.
14:29:37 <matatk> ... Really excited by what you've talked about AdamSobieski
14:29:51 <matatk> ... I think this is where W3C needs to go in the next 5 to 10 years
14:31:05 <janina> matatk: Notes much of our concern is in education; also in proper TTS pronunciation
14:31:44 <janina> matatk: Notes context may be knowledge domain specific
14:32:21 <janina> matatk: Notes example of chemistry diagrams esp in assessment situations
14:33:33 <matatk> janina: I think 'domains' is an important thing - biology very different to music or theology. But may use the same words with different meanings.
14:33:41 <matatk> ... so telling AI about the domain may increase the quality of the results we get.
14:34:03 <matatk> ... We've talked about this at various TPACs but never got enough agreement on it. Specifying a knowledge domain could really help.
14:34:57 <janina> AdamSobieski: Agrees it makes sense .. Glad aI and education came up
14:35:18 <janina> AdamSobieski: Also thoughts on accomplishing knowledge domain specificity
14:36:35 <janina> Irfan: Is there any plan of advertising personalization specifics? Cross-origin data shiring
14:36:45 <janina> AdamSobieski: Not previously considered ...
14:37:08 <janina> AdamSobieski: Certainly privacy and security concerns; but also an opportunity to define trusted sites
14:37:39 <janina> topic: Intro to Adapt Current Work
