Abstract. Machine learning ranking methods are increasingly applied to ranking tasks in information retrieval (IR). However ranking tasks in IR often differ from standard ranking t...
Constructing tractable dependent probability distributions over structured continuous random vectors is a central problem in statistics and machine learning. It has proven diffic...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimize the retrieval quality of ranking functions. Taking a Swarm Intelligence perspective, we present a novel method, SwarmRank...
