Evaluation of the DiversiNews diversified news service
This addresses the problem of providing diverse news browsing for users of online news services, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing work in the RENDER project.
The researchers evaluated the DiversiNews platform for diversified news browsing, finding it to be a high-value novel paradigm for diversity-aware news browsing based on component and user experience assessments.
In this report we present the outcome of an extensive evaluation of the DiversiNews platform [8, 10] for diversified browsing of news, developed in the scope of the RENDER project. The evaluation was carried out along two main directions: a component evaluation, in which we assessed the maturity of the components underlying DiversiNews, and a user experience (UX) evaluation involving users of online news services. The results of the evaluation confirm the high value of DiversiNews as a novel paradigm for diversity-aware news browsing.
