Cost-Sensitive Learning of SVM for Ranking
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...

Graph Based Semi-supervised Learning with Sharper Edges
In many graph-based semi-supervised learning algorithms, edge weights are assumed to be fixed and determined by the data points' (often symmetric) relationships in input space...
