Rescaling is possibly the most popular approach to cost-sensitive learning. This approach works by rescaling the classes according to their costs, and it can be realized in differ...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning to rank. `Ranking SVM' is a method for performing the task. It formulizes the problem as that of binary classific...
