Researchers have introduced the diversified multinomial logit (DMNL) contextual bandit, a novel model that integrates diversity into relevance-driven choice predictions. This new model addresses the limitations of existing contextual bandits by incorporating a submodular diversity function directly into the choice probabilities. To handle the resulting computational intractability of assortment optimization, they propose an algorithm called OFU-DMNL, which uses an optimistic UCB-based approach for item-wise assortment construction.
