Mergesort is one of the few efficient sorting algorithms and, despite being the oldest one, often still the method of choice today. In contrast to some alternative algorithms, it always runs efficiently using O(n log n) element comparisons…

In this paper, we consider large-scale ranking problems where one is given a set of (possibly non-redundant) pairwise comparisons and the underlying ranking explained by those comparisons is desired. We show that stochastic gradient descent…

Sorting is the task of ordering $n$ elements using pairwise comparisons. It is well known that $m=\Theta(n\log n)$ comparisons are both necessary and sufficient when the outcomes of the comparisons are observed with no noise. In this paper,…
