A week ago, @wai tell us (https://w3c.social/@wai/115411162522521110) that WCAG 2.2 becomes an ISO standard. According to the WHO, 1.3 billion people experience significant disabilities. This is thus a big step for making a #Web for all.
Today, Nadeen Fathallah (@nadeenfathallah) will present a paper at #ASSETS2025 on correcting violations to these #accessibility guidelines using #LLMs.

Making the Web More Inclusive: Enter AccessGuru
Despite the availability of accessibility guidelines like #WCAG, most websites still present barriers for users with disabilities. This paper introduces AccessGuru, a system that leverages Large Language Models (#LLMs) to automatically detect and correct accessibility violations in HTML code.
AccessGuru is guided by a novel taxonomy of syntactic, semantic, and layout violations and combines rule-based tools with LLM reasoning over code and visuals.
It reduces violation scores by up to 84%, outperforming existing tools, and achieves 73% similarity to human-generated semantic corrections. A benchmark dataset of 3,500 real-world violations is also released to support future research.
This work demonstrates how LLMs can meaningfully automate accessibility efforts and foster a more inclusive Web.
