Ranking is a key problem in many information retrieval (IR) applications, such as document retrieval and collaborative filtering. In this paper, we address the issue of learning ...
Ordering and ranking items of different types are important tasks in various applications, such as query processing and scientific data mining. A total order for the items can be ...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...
We present an automated technique for generating compiler optimizations from examples of concrete programs before and after improvements have been made to them. The key technical ...
