In television and radio broadcasting, late-breaking is breaking news that occurs after the close of a regular program. Traditionally, this type of news would be covered in short segments called “cut-ins” or a scrolling alert at the bottom of the screen that interrupted regular programming and announced new information. These were typically related to local politics, weather, or breaking national news. Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, programs were only interrupted for urgent, high impact news such as tornado warnings or the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The CHI conference’s Late-breaking Work (LBW) and Demonstrations track is an excellent way to present research ideas that are still evolving, elicit helpful feedback from the community, foster discussion at the conference, and serve as a springboard for future full paper submissions. We welcome both papers and demonstrations in a dedicated session that pursue innovative ideas and methodologies for eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). LBW papers should include a full-paper abstract, followed by an optional appendix with up to 10 pages, including references.
LBW and Demo submissions are subject to the same review and acceptance process as the main conference program and are published in the same venue. Accepted LBW and Demo presentations will be displayed as posters during the conference, but presenters should plan on bringing their own audiovisual/computing equipment to support their presentation. LBW and Demo acceptance notifications will be sent in late September. Please note that the $255 abstract submission fee does not include conference registration.
