Insights into ordinal embedding algorithms: A systematic evaluation

LC Vankadara, M Lohaus, S Haghiri, FU Wahab… - Journal of Machine …, 2023 - jmlr.org
The objective of ordinal embedding is to find a Euclidean representation of a set of abstract
items, using only answers to triplet comparisons of the form" Is item i closer to item j or item …

Noise-tolerant interactive learning using pairwise comparisons

Y Xu, H Zhang, K Miller, A Singh… - Advances in neural …, 2017 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of interactively learning a binary classifier using noisy labeling and
pairwise comparison oracles, where the comparison oracle answers which one in the given …

Comparison-based random forests

S Haghiri, D Garreau… - … Conference on Machine …, 2018 - proceedings.mlr.press
Assume we are given a set of items from a general metric space, but we neither have access
to the representation of the data nor to the distances between data points. Instead, suppose …

Comparison-based nearest neighbor search

S Haghiri, D Ghoshdastidar… - Artificial Intelligence …, 2017 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider machine learning in a comparison-based setting where we are given a set of
points in a metric space, but we have no access to the actual distances between the points …

Eliciting user preferences for personalized multi-objective decision making through comparative feedback

H Shao, L Cohen, A Blum, Y Mansour… - Advances in …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this work, we propose a multi-objective decision making framework that accommodates
different user preferences over objectives, where preferences are learned via policy …

[PDF][PDF] Learning Hedonic Games.

J Sliwinski, Y Zick - IJCAI, 2017 - ijcai.org
Coalitional stability in hedonic games has usually been considered in the setting where
agent preferences are fully known. We consider the setting where agent preferences are …

Submodular functions: Learnability, structure, and optimization

MF Balcan, NJA Harvey - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2018 - SIAM
Submodular functions are discrete functions that model laws of diminishing returns and
enjoy numerous algorithmic applications. They have been used in many areas, including …

Estimation of perceptual scales using ordinal embedding

S Haghiri, FA Wichmann, U von Luxburg - Journal of vision, 2020 - jov.arvojournals.org
In this article, we address the problem of measuring and analyzing sensation, the subjective
magnitude of one's experience. We do this in the context of the method of triads: The …

PAC learning and stabilizing Hedonic Games: towards a unifying approach.

S Fioravanti, M Flammini, B Kodric… - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2023 - ojs.aaai.org
We study PAC learnability and PAC stabilizability of Hedonic Games (HGs), ie, efficiently
inferring preferences or core-stable partitions from samples. We first expand the known …

Comparison based learning from weak oracles

E Kazemi, L Chen, S Dasgupta… - … Conference on Artificial …, 2018 - proceedings.mlr.press
