New CHOIR framework reveals distinct model voices in LLM ensembles

Researchers have developed a new framework called CHOIR (Collective Hierarchically-Ordered Inquiry Responses) to better understand the diversity of responses from large language model ensembles. CHOIR adapts free-list elicitation techniques from cognitive anthropology to analyze how different models respond to prompts, identifying whether agreement stems from genuine consensus or a limited answer space. The framework aims to distinguish between models that genuinely offer independent perspectives and those that produce similar outputs due to prompt-vocabulary echo or constrained answer spaces. Initial evaluations on prompt banks show that CHOIR can identify distinct model signatures and how persona prompts influence surfaced concepts. AI

IMPACT Provides a new method for analyzing and understanding the diversity and potential homogeneity of responses from large language model ensembles.

    Reach Into The CHOIR: Free-List Elicitation Uncovers Distinct Model Voices in LLM Ensembles

    arXiv:2609.38448v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-ended LLM homogeneity can create false plurality when several systems appear to offer independent perspectives while returning the same familiar default. Single-pass answers obscure the distinction between agreement produced by…
