Online Boosting for Multilabel Ranking with Top-k Feedback
share
We present online boosting algorithms for multilabel ranking with top-k feedback,where the learner only receives information about the top-k items from the ranking it provides. We propose a novel surrogate loss function and unbiased estimator, allowing weak learners to update themselves with limited information. Using these techniques we adapt full information multilabel ranking algorithms (Jung and Tewari, 2018) to the top-k feedback setting and provide theoretical performance bounds which closely match the bounds of their full information counter parts, with the cost of increased sample complexity. The experimental results also verify these claims.
