Diversifying Top-K Results

Summary: Proposes a diversified top-k framework based on inter-result similarity, with sufficient(), necessary(), and div-search-current(). Introduces div-astar, div-dp, div-cut; demonstrates optimal diversification on enwiki/Reuters, with div-cut solving k=2000 fast. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
