As increasing amounts of sensitive personal information is aggregated into data repositories, it has become important to develop mechanisms for processing the data without revealin...
We propose a novel sequential decision approach to modeling ordinal ratings in collaborative filtering problems. The rating process is assumed to start from the lowest level, eva...
We consider the problem of identifying the consensus ranking for the results of a query, given preferences among those results from a set of individual users. Once consensus ranki...
