Simple, robust and optimal ranking from pairwise comparisons

NB Shah, MJ Wainwright - Journal of machine learning research, 2018 - jmlr.org
We consider data in the form of pairwise comparisons of n items, with the goal of identifying
the top k items for some value of k< n, or alternatively, recovering a ranking of all the items …

Stochastic triplet embedding

L Van Der Maaten, K Weinberger - 2012 IEEE International …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper considers the problem of learning an embedding of data based on similarity
triplets of the form “A is more similar to B than to C”. This learning setting is of relevance to …

[HTML][HTML] Spectral method and regularized MLE are both optimal for top-K ranking

Y Chen, J Fan, C Ma, K Wang - Annals of statistics, 2019 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
This paper is concerned with the problem of top-K ranking from pairwise comparisons. Given
a collection of n items and a few pairwise comparisons across them, one wishes to identify …

Estimation from pairwise comparisons: Sharp minimax bounds with topology dependence

NB Shah, S Balakrishnan, J Bradley, A Parekh… - Journal of Machine …, 2016 - jmlr.org
We introduce a new representation learning approach for domain adaptation, in which data
at training and test time come from similar but different distributions. Our approach is directly …

The ordinal nature of emotions: An emerging approach

GN Yannakakis, R Cowie… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Computational representation of everyday emotional states is a challenging task and,
