This paper introduces two new methods for label ranking based on a probabilistic model of ranking data, called the Plackett-Luce model. The idea of the first method is to use the PL model to fit locally constant probability models in the context of instance-based learning. As opposed to this, the second method estimates a global model in which the PL parameters are represented as functions of t...

This paper proposes a human age estimation method using Ranking SVM method. Given a face image, most previous methods estimate the human age directly. However, the face images from the same age vary so much that it’s really a difficult problem to estimate the human age accurately. In this work, we adopt an alternative way to estimate the human age. First, the rank relationship of the ages is le...

This paper presents our method to retrieve relevant queries given a new question in the context of Discovery Challenge: Learning to Re-Ranking Questions for Community Question Answering competition. In order to do that, a set of learning to rank methods was investigated to select an appropriate method. The selected method was optimized on training data by using a search strategy. After optimizi...

In this paper, a preference aggregation method is developed for ranking alternative courses of actions by combining preference rankings of alternatives given on individual criteria or by individual decision makers. In the method, preference rankings are viewed as constraints on alternative utilities, which are normalized, and linear programming models are constructed to estimate utility interva...

a method based on electrical capacitance tomography (ect) and an improved least squares support vector machine (ls-svm) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. in the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in ls-svm, pruning skills are employed to make ls-svm sparse and robust; then the real-coded genetic algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem of ...
