— One of the central issues in Learning to Rank (L2R) for Information Retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures ...
Abstract. Machine learning ranking methods are increasingly applied to ranking tasks in information retrieval (IR). However ranking tasks in IR often differ from standard ranking t...
We consider supervised learning of a ranking function, which is a mapping from instances to total orders over a set of labels (options). The training information consists of exampl...
A new approach to ensemble learning is introduced that takes ranking rather than classification as fundamental, leading to models on the symmetric group and its cosets. The approa...
Many vertical search tasks such as local search focus on specific domains. The meaning of relevance in these verticals is domain-specific and usually consists of multiple well-d...
