We consider the problem of learning a ranking function, that is a mapping from instances to rankings over a finite number of labels. Our learning method, referred to as ranking by...
We address the task of learning rankings of documents from search engine logs of user behavior. Previous work on this problem has relied on passively collected clickthrough data. ...
Learning-to-rank algorithms, which can automatically adapt ranking functions in web search, require a large volume of training data. A traditional way of generating training examp...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for multi-task learning with boosted decision trees. We learn several different learning tasks with a joint model, explicitly addressing...
