Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Malgré des décennies de recherche, des règles et de lutte pour l'accessibilité du web, peu de recherche en informatique a abordé les pratiques du métier de l'accessibilité du web. Ce thèse aborde le travail de l'accessibilité du web avec trois méthodes, détaillées dans trois manuscrits distincts : d'abord, en la traitant à travers une autoethnographie collective ; puis, en élaborant un cadre théorique pour caracteriser le travail et le processus de l'accessibilité web ; et finalement, en menant une enquête par entretiens avec des professionel.les de l'accessibilité web pour comprendre leur travail et les barrières qui les empêchent de bien intégrer l'accessibilité web dans leur travail. Cette thèse s'appuie sur la théorie critique—surtout les études critiques sur l'handicap (Critical Disability Studies)—pour situer le travail de l'accessibilité web dans son contexte social et relationnel, ce qui informe nos recommandations pour mieux intégrer l'accessibilité dans la technologie à l'avenir

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
