We consider the parallels between the preference elicitation problem in combinatorial auctions and the problem of learning an unknown function from learning theory. We show that l...
Abstract. In preference learning, the algorithm observes pairwise relative judgments (preference) between items as training data for learning an ordering of all items. This is an i...
We study the retrieval task that ranks a set of objects for a given query in the pairwise preference learning framework. Recently researchers found out that raw features (e.g. word...

Abstract. Existing approaches to the management of streaming positional updates generally assume that all active user requests have equal importance, ignoring the possibility of an...
Whenever XML data must be shared by heterogeneous applications, transformations between different applicationspecific XML formats are necessary. The state-of-the-art method transf...
