We consider data in the form of pairwise comparisons of n items, with the goal of precisely identifying the top k items for some value of k < n, or alternatively, recovering a ranking of all the items. We analyze the Copeland counting…

In multi-objective decision planning and learning, much attention is paid to producing optimal solution sets that contain an optimal policy for every possible user preference profile. We argue that the step that follows, i.e, determining…

Bipartite ranking is a fundamental ranking problem that learns to order relevant instances ahead of irrelevant ones. The pair-wise approach for bi-partite ranking construct a quadratic number of pairs to solve the problem, which is…

A common problem in machine learning is to rank a set of n items based on pairwise comparisons. Here ranking refers to partitioning the items into sets of pre-specified sizes according to their scores, which includes identification of the…

Recommender systems have become an essential component of many online platforms, providing personalized recommendations to users. A crucial aspect is embedding techniques that convert the high-dimensional discrete features, such as user and…

Collaborative filtering generates recommendations by exploiting user-item similarities based on rating data, which often contains numerous unrated items. To predict scores for unrated items, matrix factorization techniques such as…

In various real-world scenarios, such as recommender systems and political surveys, pairwise rankings are commonly collected and utilized for rank aggregation to derive an overall ranking of items. However, preference rankings can reveal…

Modern retrieval systems do not rely on a single ranking model to construct their rankings. Instead, they generally take a cascading approach where a sequence of ranking models are applied in multiple re-ranking stages. Thereby, they…

Item-based models are among the most popular collaborative filtering approaches for building recommender systems. Random walks can provide a powerful tool for harvesting the rich network of interactions captured within these models. They…

Decision-making is a cognitively intensive task that requires synthesizing relevant information from multiple unstructured sources, weighing competing factors, and incorporating subjective user preferences. Existing methods, including large…

The conventional top-K recommendation, which presents the top-K items with the highest ranking scores, is a common practice for generating personalized ranking lists. However, is this fixed-size top-K recommendation the optimal approach for…

Collaborative filtering is a popular technique to infer users' preferences on new content based on the collective information of all users preferences. Recommender systems then use this information to make personalized suggestions to users.…

This paper is concerned with how to make efficient use of social information to improve recommendations. Most existing social recommender systems assume people share similar preferences with their social friends. Which, however, may not…

Listwise ranking losses have been widely studied in recommender systems. However, new paradigms of content consumption present new challenges for ranking methods. In this work we contribute an analysis of learning to rank for personalized…

Recommender system is currently widely used in many e-commerce systems, such as Amazon, eBay, and so on. It aims to help users to find items which they may be interested in. In literature, neighborhood-based collaborative filtering and…

Matrix factorization (MS) is a collaborative filtering (CF) based approach, which is widely used for recommendation systems (RS). In this research work, we deal with the content recommendation problem for users in a content management…

While recent advancements in aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with recommendation tasks have shown great potential and promising performance overall, these aligned recommendation LLMs still face challenges in complex scenarios. This is…

Collaborative tags are playing more and more important role for the organization of information systems. In this paper, we study a personalized recommendation model making use of the ternary relations among users, objects and tags. We…

In this paper, we propose a theoretically founded sequential strategy for training large-scale Recommender Systems (RS) over implicit feedback, mainly in the form of clicks. The proposed approach consists in minimizing pairwise ranking loss…

Nowadays, with the remarkable expansion of the information through the internet, users prefer to receive the exact information that they need through some suggestions from their friends or profiles to save their time and money. Recommend…
