Intelligent Adaptive Interventions Lab

How can you turn any user interface into an intelligent, perpetually improving system? Innovations in A/B Experimentation and interfaces to LLMs.

One example of our work is to transform ubiquitous explanations and prompting questions (e.g. text in a webpage, email, SMS) into an Intelligent Adaptive Intervention. We do this by innovating in uses of A/B experimentation, like inventing the AdapComp toolkit that enhances & personalizes explanations/prompts by A/B testing alternative versions that are generated by human & artificial intelligence (coordinating contributions from designers, social-behavioural scientists, users, chatGPT-like systems), and using adaptive experiments that automatically analyze data and use it to give better versions to future users. Our adaptive experiments apply and advance machine learning algorithms and statistical tests.
