Generative Models for Explainable AI Narratives — co-located with CIKM 2026
Topics of Interest
Submissions are not limited to this list.
Generative and Agentic Methods for XAI Narratives
- Natural language generation from XAI artifacts
- Generative AI for explanation narratives
- Multimodal explanation generation
- Agentic AI for explanation orchestration
- Multi-agent systems for explanation planning
- Causal grounding of generated explanations
- User-adaptive and personalized explanations
- Context-aware explanation generation
- Narrative planning and composition
- Benchmarking and evaluation of generated explanations
We encourage approaches grounded in structured explanation artifacts, rather than direct prompting of LLMs to generate post-hoc explanations without explicit XAI grounding.

Submission Guidelines
Paper Length
Full papers (10 pages, excluding references): mature and validated research
contributions, presented orally.
Short papers (4 pages, excluding references): preliminary, late-breaking, or
exploratory work, presented as spotlights.
Both full and short papers may be accompanied by posters showcased during the coffee break.
Review Process
Double-blind review, with at least two reviewers per submission drawn from the Program Committee. Conflicts of interest and all review procedures will strictly follow the official CIKM 2026 policies and guidelines.
Submission Site
Papers will be submitted via EasyChair (link will be posted here once available).
Presentation
Full papers are presented orally; short papers as spotlights. Both may include a poster, to foster informal discussion.
