Pairwise Comparisons Simplified
This study examines the notion of generators of a pairwise comparisons matrix. Such approach decreases the number of pairwise comparisons from n · (n − 1) to n − 1. An algorithm of reconstructing of the PC matrix from its set of generators is presented.
متن کاملPhenotypes, genotypes and their contribution to understanding keratin function.
A large number of mutations in keratin genes underlie inherited tissue fragility disorders of epithelia. The genotype-phenotype correlations emerging from these studies provide a rich source of information about the function of keratins that would have taken decades to achieve by a purely transgenic approach. Human disease studies are being supplemented by engineered mouse mutant studies, which...
متن کاملActive Ranking using Pairwise Comparisons
This paper examines the problem of ranking a collection of objects using pairwise comparisons (rankings of two objects). In general, the ranking of n objects can be identified by standard sorting methods using n log2 n pairwise comparisons. We are interested in natural situations in which relationships among the objects may allow for ranking using far fewer pairwise comparisons. Specifically, w...
متن کاملEfficient Ranking from Pairwise Comparisons
The ranking of n objects based on pairwise comparisons is a core machine learning problem, arising in recommender systems, ad placement, player ranking, biological applications and others. In many practical situations the true pairwise comparisons cannot be actively measured, but a subset of all n(n−1)/2 comparisons is passively and noisily observed. Optimization algorithms (e.g., the SVM) coul...
متن کاملHierarchical approaches to understanding consciousness
There has been much discussion on what a scientific theory of consciousness would look like, and even whether such a theory is possible. Some common misunderstandings of the nature of theories (e.g., in the physical sciences) have confused the discussion of theories concerning consciousness. Theories in the physical sciences establish hierarchies of descriptions that relate high-level descripti...
