The need for diversification of recommendation lists manifests in a number of recommender systems use cases. However, an increase in diversity may undermine the utility of the recommendations, as relevant items in the list may be replaced by more diverse ones.

We evaluate the proposed method in two online user studies as well as in an offline analysis incorporating a number of evaluation metrics. The results of evaluations show the superiority of our method over a number of baselines.
