Popis: | We reduce ranking, as measured by the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC), to binary classification. The core theorem shows that a binary classification regret of r on the induced binary problem implies an AUC regret of at most 2r. This is a large improvement over approaches such as ordering according to regressed scores, which have a regret transform of $r \mapsto nr$ where n is the number of elements. |
