Latent ranking analysis using pairwise comparisons in crowdsourcing platforms

作者:

Highlights:

• We study how to learn multiple latent rankings from pairwise comparisons.

• We propose a novel probabilistic model to capture the process of pairwise comparison.

• We develop an efficient inference algorithm to learn multiple latent rankings.

• We also investigate active learning problem considering crowdsourcing platforms.

• Experiments with synthetic and real life data show the effectiveness of our algorithms.
