Abstract

Abstract:

Image descriptions, audio descriptions, and tactile media provide non-visual access to the information contained in visual media. As intelligent systems are increasingly developed to provide non-visual access, questions about the accuracy of these systems arise. In this talk, I will present my efforts to involve people who are blind in the development of information taxonomies and annotated datasets towards more accurate and context-aware visual assistance technologies and tactile media interfaces. https://abigalestangl.com/
