CVS GenAI Hackathon — Alt-Text Compliance
Awarded 1st Prize at the CVS GenAI Hackathon (Aug 2023) for a proof-of-concept ML transformer application that generates and compares image alt-text and tests it for accessibility compliance. Productionized into the CVS image-to-alt-text CI pipeline.
Overview
Won 1st Prize at the CVS GenAI Hackathon (New York, NY — August 2023) for a proof-of-concept application using ML transformers to generate and compare alt-text for images and test them for WCAG/ADA accessibility compliance. The PoC paired Hugging Face vision-language captioning with sentiment analysis to flag both coverage gaps and tone issues.
Outcome
- 1st Prize, CVS GenAI Hackathon (Aug 2023)
- Validated the technical approach for transformer-driven accessibility validation at enterprise scale
- Productionized into the Image-to-Alt-Text CI Automation pipeline at CVS Health, where it was rolled out across the accessibility org and reduced downstream defects by 15%
Tech Stack
- AI/ML: Hugging Face Transformers, vision-language models, sentiment analysis
- Backend: Python
- Validation: WCAG/ADA compliance rules
