ABSTRACT
Providing very accurate recommendations to end users has been nowadays recognized to be just one of the main tasks a recommender systems must be able to perform. While predicting relevant suggestions, attention needs to be paid to their diversification in order to avoid monotony in recommendation. In this paper we focus on modeling users' inclination toward selecting diverse items, where diversity is computed by means of content-based item attributes. We then exploit such modeling to present a novel approach to re-rank the list of Top-N items predicted by a recommendation algorithm, in order to foster diversity in the final ranking. Experimental evaluation proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Putting Users in Control of their Recommendations
RecSys '15: Proceedings of the 9th ACM Conference on Recommender SystemsThe essence of a recommender system is that it can recommend items personalized to the preferences of an individual user. But typically users are given no explicit control over this personalization, and are instead left guessing about how their actions ...
A Novel Framework for Improving Recommender Diversity
International Workshop on Behavior and Social Informatics on Behavior and Social Computing - Volume 8178Recommender systems are being used to assist users in finding relevant items from a large set of alternatives in many online applications. However, while most research up to this point has focused on improving the accuracy of recommender systems, other ...
A Clustering Approach for Personalizing Diversity in Collaborative Recommender Systems
UMAP '17: Proceedings of the 25th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and PersonalizationMuch of the focus of recommender systems research has been on the accurate prediction of users' ratings for unseen items. Recent work has suggested that objectives such as diversity and novelty in recommendations are also important factors in the ...
