Rank Learning by Ordinal Gerrymandering (bibtex)
by S. Fenu and C.J. Rozell
Abstract:
Many applications, from ordering search engine results to medical triage, rely on learning to accurately rank a set of objects by combining a given collection of ranking or preference functions. We propose a technique for rank-learning that operates by boosting, merging accurate regions of poor- quality metrics into a single accurate metric. We show an improvement in accuracy for general similarity ranking tasks across a variety of benchmark datasets and apply this technique to the prediction of software bug severity and resolution time from error report text, showing a significant improvement in bug triage accuracy over the state of the art.
