N2 - Increasing diversity in the output of a recommender system is an active research question for solving a long-tail issue. Most of the current approaches have focused on ranked list optimization to improve recommendation diversity. However, little is known about the e.ect that a visual interface can have on this issue. .is paper shows that a multidimensional visualization promotes diversity of social exploration in the context of an academic conference. Our study shows a significant difference in the exploration pa.ern between ranked list and visual interfaces. .e results show that a visual interface can help the user explore a a more diverse set of recommended items.
