Controlled Experimentation of Model Search Behaviour with Geniie-Lab
Abstract
This half-day tutorial provides participants with a framework and hands-on experience for conducting controlled experiments on model search behaviour using an open-source toolkit. Participants will learn how to design, run, and analyse experiments to investigate behavioural differences across large language models. By integrating techniques from human user studies with LLM experimentation, the tutorial strengthens CHIIR’s methodological foundations and broadens its scope to include behavioural analysis of generative and agentic systems.
