• Disability-First AI Dataset Annotation: Co-designing Stuttered Speech Annotation Guidelines with People Who Stutter

  Xinru Tang, Jingjin Li, Shaomei Wu (2026) — Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Tang, Li, and Wu present the first study to push the 'disability-first' principle beyond dataset collection and into the dataset annotation stage of the AI pipeline. Their case is stuttered speech: despite a growing number of stuttering datasets (Flu…

• Disability-first Dataset Creation: Lessons from Constructing a Dataset for Teachable Object Recognition with Blind and Low Vision Data Collectors

  Lida Theodorou, Daniela Massiceti, Luisa Zintgraf, Simone Stumpf, Cecily Morrison, Edward Cutrell, Matthew Tobias Harris, Katja Hofmann (2021) — Proceedings of the 23rd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '21)

  This paper presents a disability-first approach to constructing a machine learning dataset for teachable object recognition, developed through the ORBIT (Objects that Recognize Blind Individuals in Their environment) project. The authors argue that w…
