The document describes a study that used crowdsourcing to evaluate how well semantic patterns discovered in Linked Data can improve diversity in recommender systems. Workers on Crowdflower were shown movie recommendations generated by DBpedia patterns and an Amazon recommendation, and asked to choose the best option. Their choices and reasons were collected. The study found that patterns' global frequency and length correlated most with users' choices, suggesting these statistics indicate how suitable patterns are for enabling diversity in recommendations.
