Diversification recommendation of popular articles in micro-blog scenario

With the information overload in web services, micro-blog has been increasingly providing as a media for end-users to express their opinions. The notable feature of micro-blog articles is prone to be a burst of popularity during a short period. In addition, diverse interests make users bored in redundant items in most recommender systems. Therefore, providing users with diverse popular micro-blogs that suit their interesting topics is an important issue. In this paper, depending on forwarding number and comment number of micro-blogs, an effective model for popularity prediction is proposed to discover popular topics. Then, a MaxMin diversity algorithm based on content distance and popularity density is proposed to discover top k micro-blogs. Finally, we design a diverse personalized popularity attention (DPPA) recommendation approach for target user. We conduct extensive experiments on large scale micro-blog datasets. The experimental results show that our proposed approach can satisfy user´s requirements with a higher recall than personal attention methods.
