Late-breaking (or latebreaking) is a type of news story that appears in newspapers or television shortly after the main editions. It is a short summary of current events that is important to the public, but has not been published before. This information is sometimes accompanied by an alert crawl or cut-in on the lower third of the screen. Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, programming interruptions to report breaking news were rare. Usually, only the most urgent news required such an interruption, such as when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
CHI 2025 Late-Breaking Works are not to be considered as “e-poster” or “regular abstract” submissions and should not be submitted to the main LBW track. They must report work that became available for public dissemination after the deadline of the regular abstract submission and must be of critical importance to the community.
Accepted LBWs will receive an invitation to present in an oral platform presentation at the conference. Presenters will also be invited to submit a full paper for inclusion in the CHI 2025 ACM Digital Library.
