On Efficient Heuristic Ranking of Hypotheses

 Steve Chien, Andre Stechert and Darren Mutz
  
 

Abstract:
This paper considers the problem of learning the ranking of a set of alternatives based upon incomplete information (e.g., a limited number of observations). We describe two algorithms for hypothesis ranking and their application for probably approximately correct (PAC) and expected loss (EL) learning criteria. Empirical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of these ranking procedures on both synthetic datasets and real-world data from a spacecraft design optimization problem.
