Abstract We present a new ranking algorithm that combines the strengths of two previous methods: boosted tree classification, and LambdaRank, which has been shown to be empiricall...

We present novel semi-supervised boosting algorithms that incrementally build linear combinations of weak classifiers through generic functional gradient descent using both labele...
Semi-supervised inductive learning concerns how to learn a decision rule from a data set containing both labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended...
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...
Some applications have to present their results in the form of ranked lists. This is the case of many information retrieval applications, in which documents must be sorted accordi...
