Human Modeling and Cognitive Alignment in Interactive Agents

This repository contains the website for the proposed NeurIPS 2026 workshop Human Modeling and Cognitive Alignment in Interactive Agents.

The site is based on the al-folio Jekyll template. The al-folio license and attribution are preserved in this repository.

Editing Workshop Content

Most workshop content is data-driven. Edit these files first:

• _data/workshop.yml - title, subtitle, tagline, proposal metadata, logistics, contact, conflict disclosures
• _data/dates.yml - important dates
• _data/speakers.yml - potential invited speaker entries
• _data/organizers.yml - organizers, program committee, diversity fields
• _data/schedule.yml - tentative one-day schedule
• _data/topics.yml - CFP topics, domains, review criteria, outcomes
• _data/faq.yml - FAQ entries
• _data/related_workshops.yml - related-workshop comparison

The public pages are in _pages/.

TBC Fields

The following fields are intentionally marked TBC until confirmed:

• Workshop date and final location
• Submission site and contact email
• Organizer details
• Program committee members
• Speaker invitations, affiliations, websites, bios, and talk titles
• Demographic diversity details
• Concurrent workshop proposal submissions and conflict disclosures
• Remote participation, recording, and venue-provided hybrid support

Do not mark potential invited speakers as confirmed until invitations are finalized.
