An Efficient Boosting Algorithm for Combining Preferences
We study the problem of learning to accurately rank a set of objects by combining a given collection of ranking or preference functions. This problem of combining preferences aris...

On the Consistency of Ranking Algorithms
We present a theoretical analysis of supervised ranking, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic consistency of algorithms based on minimizing a surrogate...

Markov Logic Sets: Towards Lifted Information Retrieval Using PageRank and Label Propagation
Inspired by “GoogleTM Sets” and Bayesian sets, we consider the problem of retrieving complex objects and relations among them, i.e., ground atoms from a logical concept, given...
