Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of search results based on a search query from a user. A computing system determines a plurality of scores for each search result, each score generated by applying a distinct scoring function of a plurality of scoring functions to the search result. The computing system generates a plurality of diversity groups, each diversity group corresponding to a scoring function of the plurality of scoring functions, each diversity group including at least a subset of the plurality of search results ordered according to the scores generated by applying the scoring function to the at least the subset of the plurality of search results. The method further includes selecting at least one of the plurality of search results from each diversity group and sending the selected search results to the user.
