Abstract As a crucial task in information retrieval, ranking defines the preferential order among the retrieved documents for a given query. Supervised learning
has recently been dedicated to automatically learning ranking models by incorporating various models into one effective model. This paper proposes a
novel supervised learning method, in which instances are represented as bags of contexts of features, instead of bags of features. The method applies
rank-order correlations to measure the correlation relationships between features. The feature vectors of instances, i.e., the 1st-order raw feature vectors,
are then mapped into the feature correlation space via More >
