LETICIA is an open-source and customizable web platform for interactive information retrieval (IIR) studies. Its main purpose is to serve as a base for user study design and implementation in IIR, with little to no coding requirements to create a study.
LETICIA is built as an effort to ease study creation for IIR researchers and offer a state-of-the-art platform to be applied both in local and remote environments. LETICIA can be used as-is from its already developed modules, or as a starting point for developing custom modules and functionalities.
This wiki contains all the documentation for installing, configuring, and developing LETICIA.
