Title
Magnitude-preserving ranking algorithms
Abstract
This paper studies the learning problem of ranking when one wishes not just to ac- curately predict pairwise ordering but also preserve the magnitude of the preferences or the dierence between ratings, a prob- lem motivated by its key importance in the design of search engines, movie recom- mendation, and other similar ranking sys- tems. We describe and analyze several al- gorithms for this problem and give stabil- ity bounds for their generalization error, ex- tending previously known stability results to non-bipartite ranking and magnitude of preference-preserving algorithms. We also re- port the results of experiments comparing these algorithms on several datasets and com- pare these results with those obtained using an algorithm minimizing the pairwise mis- ranking error and standard regression.
