Ranking learning-to-rank methods

We present a cross-benchmark comparison of learning-to-rank methods using two evaluation measures: the Normalized Winning Number and the Ideal Winning Number. Evaluation results of 87 learning-to-rank methods on 20 datasets show that ListNet, SmoothRank, FenchelRank, FSMRank, LRUF and LARF are Pareto optimal learning-to-rank methods, listed in increasing order of Normalized Winning Number and decreasing order of Ideal Winning Number.
