PhD Proposal Review: Sample Complexity of Pairwise Ranking Regression Berkan Kadioglu Location: Zoom Abstract: We consider a rank regression setting, in which a dataset of $N$ samples with features in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is ranked by an oracle via $M$ pairwise comparisons. Specifically, there exists a latent total ordering of the samples; when presented with a pair […]
