We propose a novel kernel regression algorithm which takes into account order preferences on unlabeled data. Such preferences have the form that point x1 has a larger target value than that of x2, although the target values for x1, x2 are unknown. The order preferences can be viewed as side information or a form of weak labels, and our algorithm can be related to semi-supervised learning. Learn...

Effective learning of user preferences is critical to easing user burden in various types of matching problems. Equally important is active query selection to further reduce the amount of preference information users must provide. We address the problem of active learning of user preferences for matching problems, introducing a novel method for determining probabilistic matchings, and developin...
