A Modification of LambdaMART to Handle Noisy Crowdsourced Assessments

Authors Info & Claims
Published:29 September 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

We consider noisy crowdsourced assessments and their impact on learning-to-rank algorithms. Starting with EM-weighted assessments, we modify LambdaMART in order to use smoothed probabilistic preferences over pairs of documents, directly as input to the ranking algorithm.
