Systems and methods for providing diverse content

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an indication that a user is interested in a content (e.g., newsfeed). Based on metadata associated with the content, a topic of the content and an entity associated with the content may be determined (e.g., a political candidate's position on gun control). One or more first entities (e.g., other political candidates) may be selected based on the entity associated with the content. The selected first entities may be different from the entity associated with the content. First contents associated with the first entities and topically related to the topic of the content may be selected (e.g., other candidates' positions on gun control). At least a portion of the first contents may be displayed with at least a portion of the content. The content and at least one of the first contents may have different sentiments toward the topic.
