متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Learning to Rank Algorithms for Information Retrieval
Learning to rank is the problem of ranking objects by using machine learning techniques. One of the applications of learning to rank is for ranking document of search results. In this research, we compare the performance of three learning to rank algorithms: RankSVM, LambdaMART, and Additive Groves. RankSVM, which is ranking variant of the classical SVM algorithm, is commonly used as a baseline...
متن کاملModeling Additive Structure and Detecting Interactions with Groves of Trees
Discovery of additive structure is an important step towards understanding a complex multi-dimensional function, because it allows for expressing this function as the sum of lower-dimensional or otherwise simpler components. Modeling additive structure also opens up opportunities for learning better regression models. The term statistical interaction is used to describe the presence of non-addi...

متن کاملApplication of ensemble learning techniques to model the atmospheric concentration of SO2
In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...
