ListMAP: Listwise learning to rank as maximum a posteriori estimation
作者:
Highlights:
• ListMAP, a new listwise learning to rank model with prior distribution to weight training instances, is introduced.
• A model for approximating the prior distribution parameters from a set of observation data is introduced.
• The characteristics of the introduced L2R models with respect to coherency are discussed and analyzed.
• The proposed model outperforms the prominent and state-of-the-art leaning to rank models across different datasets.
