The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the =
annual premier venue where researchers and practitioners meet and =
discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection of Artificial =
Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI =
submissions should address practical HCI challenges using machine =
intelligence and discuss both computational and human-centric aspects of =
such methodologies, techniques, and systems.

This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday =
technology. Understanding and shaping AI systems for human needs is =
essential to ensure that AI systems are effective and responsible. As =
these techniques become increasingly powerful, new use cases and =
human-AI interactions need to be explored. This conference offers an =
opportunity to focus the research community on important problems at the =
intersection of AI and HCI and bring together experts from various =
disciplines to discuss and build on these ideas in workshops, breaks, =
and networking sessions.=20

Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, =
industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are =
critical to the vitality of the IUI community, and the conference will =
accept papers for both long and short oral presentations. Contributions =
to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to =
the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational =
analysis).

Papers
We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration =
elsewhere. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and =
citation indices. At least one author of an accepted paper must register =
for the conference (this does not include workshop/tutorial only =
registration), attend in person, and present their paper during the main =
conference program.

Reflection of practical and societal impact
We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of =
their work (as well as its shortcomings) throughout their projects and =
to include a reflection on those implications in their papers, in =
particular, how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and =
deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people=E2=80=99s =
lives in the real world.
We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of =
their work in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other =
topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its societal impact. We =
recognize that technology is rarely neutral =E2=80=94 simply by making =
some things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; =
Green, 2020). Further, given the incredibly short =
invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is =
becoming increasingly unlikely that =E2=80=9Csomebody else=E2=80=9D will =
carefully consider how an emerging intelligent user interface technology =
might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Our purpose =
is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their =
work are consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who =
are not yet experienced with incorporating societal impacts into their =
IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, here are some ideas =
to consider.

Anonymization
ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and =
supplemental materials) must be appropriately anonymized according to =
the following guidelines:
Authors=E2=80=99 names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the =
submission, including but not limited to the submission document, video =
figures, and supplemental materials.
Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review =
process.
Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third =
person. For example, =E2=80=9C=E2=80=A6 as shown in our previous user =
study [2] =E2=80=A6 =E2=80=9D is not allowed, whereas =E2=80=9C=E2=80=A6 =
as shown in Smith et al. [2] =E2=80=9D is acceptable (because in this =
case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation).
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being =
desk-rejected without review.

Accessibility
Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that =
reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The =
authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs =
accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for =
detailed instructions.
If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide =
captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for =
Videos.
Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for =
further details and guidelines.

Usage of Generative AI
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: =
the ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. When using =
Artificial Intelligence to assist with writing an ACM submission, ACM no =
longer requires the disclosure of information regarding the use of AI =
(as distinct from AI used in the conduct of the research itself, where =
AI tools use must be described in detail in the methods section of the =
Work).

Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects
Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must =
go through the appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the =
authors=E2=80=99 research environment. As research environments vary =
considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are asked to =
submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also =
see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving human =
participants and subjects before submitting.

Additional Policies
Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and =
Review at SIGCHI Conferences and ACM Publications Policies.

Submission Format, Length, and Platform
We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow.
Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, =
using the latest templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX =
template using   \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for =
the LaTeX template.
Papers are of variable length. Paper length, excluding references, =
figure/table captions, GenAI Usage Disclosure, and appendices, must be =
proportional to its contribution. We encourage authors to stay within a =
8,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 10,000 words should add a =
note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the =
paper is commensurate with the contribution of the work.

Submission Platform
All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision =
Conference Submission (PCS) Portal =
(https://new.precisionconference.com/) by the abstract and paper =
deadlines.
In PCS, first click =E2=80=9CSubmissions=E2=80=9D at the top of the =
page, from the dropdown menus for Society, Conference, and Track, please =
select =E2=80=9CSIGCHI=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9CIUI 2027=E2=80=9D, and =E2=80=9C=
IUI 2027 Papers=E2=80=9D, respectively, and then press =E2=80=9CGo=E2=80=9D=
.
Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, =
not necessarily the first author) is affiliated with a participating =
institution that has an open access agreement with ACM, the Article =
Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing the paper. =
Details are under =E2=80=9CPublication and Open Access=E2=80=9D.

Supplemental Materials
Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of =
applications, data sheets) is optional but encouraged.
If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical =
Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.
If you have any concurrent submissions to IUI or other venues that are =
closely related =E2=80=93 i.e., are based on the same study, artifact, =
or dataset =E2=80=93 you must include an anonymized version of that =
submission to the concurrent submissions field. Failure to do so will =
result in desk rejection. The same rule applies if your submission is =
built directly on work currently under review at other venues. Please =
see ACM guide on prior and simultaneous submissions.

Publication and Open Access
The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made =
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks =
prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date =
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
As of January 1, 2026, ACM has fully transitioned to Open Access. All =
ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, are =
100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing =
Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by =
paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions =
already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference =
papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, =
around 70-75%).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay =
an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or =
discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your =
article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM =
Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that =
waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.
Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM =
has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and =
allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will =
offer:
$250 APC for ACM/SIG members
$350 for non-members
This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are =
encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open =
during this transition period.
This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences =
scheduled for 2026, but note that the policy may be updated in future =
ACM Council meetings. Stay tuned for the latest update.
