Universal accessibility and usability for hearing: Considerations for design
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An interdisciplinary team of researchers have drawn to the need for a companion guideline to the original Universal Design (UD) principles as it relates to hearing. The term universal design was defined by the late Ron Mace whose work inspired architects and many other professionals to think beyond the boundaries of barrier-free design. The UD principles include, equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort and size and space for approach and use. The development of this initial set of universal design for hearing (UDH) guidelines used an occupational approach focused on what people do, need to do, and want to do, in community and public environments where hearing activities take place. Preliminary themes in the UHD guidelines include, design hearing environments that maximize the capabilities of a person to hear without a hearing device or with their current hearing device, optimize object-person interactions for hearing and allow for choice of interaction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
