Many ranking models have been proposed in information retrieval, and recently machine learning techniques have also been applied to ranking model construction. Most of the existin...

We propose a new boosting algorithm for bipartite ranking problems. Our boosting algorithm, called SoftRankBoost, is a modification of RankBoost which maintains only smooth distri...
We study statistical consistency of two recently proposed subspace identification algorithms for closed-loop systems. These algorithms een as implementations of an abstract state-...
1 We examine the consistency problem for descriptions of trees based on remote dominance, and present a consistency-checking algorithm which is polynomial in the number of nodes in...
The celebrated PageRank algorithm has proved to be a very effective paradigm for ranking results of web search algorithms. In this paper we refine this basic paradigm to take into...
