An Algorithm for Diversifying Recommendations Using Topics Derived from User Taste Tendencies

Many e-commerce sites use a recommendation system to filter the specific information that a user wants out of an overload of information. Currently, the usefulness of the recommendation is defined by its accuracy. However, findings that users are not satisfied only with accuracy have been reported.

However, previous work mainly focuses on suggesting relevant queries to the original query while ignoring the diversity in the suggestions, which will potentially dissatisfy Web users’ information needs....

Drug discovery: Diversifying complexity.

and position of cyclization was then confirmed through peracylation and NMR spectroscopic analysis of peracylatedjagaricin. Knockout mutants were constructed to provide further confirmation that the jag genes were responsible for jagaricin production, and no jagaricin could be detected when the knockout mutant was grown on mushroom tissue and examined with IMS. Jagaricin’s native biological rol...

Diversifying the Engineering Workforce

Engineering, education to workplace, is not just about technical knowledge. Rather, who becomes an engineer and why says much about the profession. Engineering has a “diversity” problem. Like all professions, it must narrow the gap between practitioners on the one hand, and their clientele on the other; it must become “culturally competent.” Given the current composition of the engineering facu...
