In news reporting, late-breaking is the term for new developments that occurred after a newspaper’s deadline for its print edition. The newest development is often reported in the lead section of the paper. In this way, the latest news is seen by most readers as early as possible. This is particularly true in the case of a major, unexpected event such as an assassination or severe weather event. In the era before 24-hour news networks, television stations typically interrupted programming with “cut-ins” and alert crawls during severe weather events or breaking political news. This type of breaking news is also frequently reported in digital formats such as online and social media.
CHI 2025 invites researchers to submit late-breaking work (LBW) abstracts that describe innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes addressing eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). We will offer both in-person poster presentations and demos of LBW submissions. Accepted LBW and demo submissions will be presented at the conference in specific poster stands. Presenters will be notified of acceptance status in late September. Note: Payment of the $255 abstract submission fee does not include conference registration.
The purpose of the LBW category is to recognize high impact, novel, and critically important research that became available for publication or presentation in the lead-up to CHI 2025, but missed the regular abstract submission deadline. LBWs cannot be revisions of an abstract that was submitted before the regular deadline and they must not have been presented or published elsewhere. Clinical and laboratory-based studies are usually suited to the main e-poster sessions, but may be eligible for LBW consideration if they have clear justification that the experiment could not be completed by the general abstract deadline.
