learning-to-rank

This paper proposes Representation Curriculum (RC), a training-time intervention that stages feature utilization to reduce over-reliance on exposure-confounded historical signals and improve cold-start generalization in ranking systems. The method is theoretically analyzed and validated on public benchmarks and large-scale eBay search experiments.

PEARL introduces a contrastive percentile approximation framework to mitigate behavioral intensity imbalance in recommender systems, achieving significant gains in engagement metrics in a production livestream platform serving billions of users.

This paper proposes an Edge-AI-driven decentralized task allocation framework for circular smart manufacturing that uses learning-to-rank to align with the ordering-based nature of winner selection. Simulation results show improved delay, deadline adherence, and energy efficiency under high-load and tight-deadline scenarios.
