ABSTRACT
A recent study found that presenting news suggestions as clusters in a sidebar can lead to more exploration of articles and clusters related to particular stories [1]. We conducted a lab study to test the robustness of the result.Our results only partially replicate the original findings: people read more articles, but not from significantly more clusters;we also foundthat they prefer the clustered presentation. Further research is needed to better understand the conditions under which clustered presentation leads people to sample from more clusters.

Removing Bias from Diverse Data Clusters for Ensemble Classification
Neural Information ProcessingAbstractDiversity plays an important role in successful ensemble classification. One way to diversify the base-classifiers in an ensemble classifier is to diversify the data they are trained on. Sampling techniques such as bagging have been used for this ...
