| Abstract | Diversification has been recently proposed as an approach to allow a user to better grasp a large result set without having to look through all relevant results. In this paper, we expand the use of diversification as an analytical tool to explore large datasets dispersed over many nodes. The diversification problem is in general NP-complete and existing uniprocessor algorithms are unfortunately not suitable for the distributed setting of our environment. Using the MapReduce framework we consider two distinct approaches to solve the distributed diversification problem, one that focuses on optimizing disk I/O and one that optimizes for network I/O. Our approaches are iterative in nature, allowing the user to continue refining the diversification process if more time is available. Moreover, we prove that (i) this iteration process converges and (ii) it produces a 2-approximate diversified result set when compared to the optimal solution. We also develop a cost model to predict the run-time for both approaches based on the network and disk characteristics. We implemented our approaches on a cluster of 40 cores and showed that they are scalable and produce the same quality results as the state-of-the-art uniprocessor algorithms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
