Participation en IUI 2026. Human Oversight-by-Design for Accessible Generative IUIs
The HULAT-UC3M research group participates in the AI CHAOS!@IUI 2026 (ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces) with the paper "Human Oversight-by-Design for Accessible Generative IUIs", authored by predoctoral researcher Blessing Jerry, along with Lourdes Moreno and Paloma Martínez.
The work lies at the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction, accessibility, and artificial intelligence, and addresses how to generate accessible user interfaces using language models, aligned with standards and adapted to different user profiles, capabilities, and usage contexts. The proposal is based on the idea that, in sensitive domains, it is not enough to automatically generate content: it is also necessary to ensure that the resulting interface is understandable, usable, and appropriate for diverse users.
The paper proposes an architecture for accessible interface generation based on structured user profiles, adaptation rules, validated templates, and traceability with respect to standards such as WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549, ISO 24495-1, and W3C COGA. Based on these elements, the system can produce adapted interfaces and content, for example, through plain language, step-by-step structuring, pictograms, or visual adjustments tailored to user needs.
In addition, the work incorporates an oversight-by-design approach, where automated evaluation acts as a risk signal and triggers human review and system adjustments when necessary. In this way, accessible interface generation is framed not only as a technical problem, but also as a matter of interaction design, governance, and responsibility in AI systems.
This work is part of the HumanAI project and reinforces the research lines of the HULAT-UC3M group on the design and evaluation of accessible technologies, with a particular focus on human-centered intelligent interfaces.

The HULAT-UC3M research group participates in LREC 2026 with a paper on accessible text generation with human participation and supervision
The HULAT-UC3M research group will participate in LREC 2026 with the paper “A Human-in/on-the-Loop Framework for Accessible Text Generation”, authored by Lourdes Moreno and Paloma Martínez, and accepted in the track “Simplification, Plain Language and Assistive Technologies”.
The paper proposes a hybrid framework for plain language text generation based on a Human-in/on-the-Loop approach, combining language models with human involvement at different stages of the process. This approach integrates both direct participation during content generation and subsequent supervision of the outputs.
The proposal is structured around the use of cognitive accessibility standards, signal-based triggers for expert review, and quality indicators, with the aim of building a traceable, explainable, and auditable process. In this way, the evaluation of generated texts does not rely solely on automatic metrics, but also incorporates criteria focused on real comprehension and human validation.
This work is part of the HumanAI project and aligns with the research lines of the HULAT-UC3M group at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Accessibility, with a particular focus on developing AI-based solutions to improve information comprehension for diverse user profiles.
