The problem of ranking a set of objects given some measure of similarity is one of the most basic in machine learning. Recently Agarwal proposed a method based on techniques in semi-supervised learning utilizing the graph Laplacian. In this work we consider a novel application of this technique to ranking binary choice data and apply it specifically to ranking US Senators by their ideology.
