Learning-to-rank (LTR) is a very hot topic of research for information retrieval (IR). LTR framework usually learns the ranking function using available training data that are very cost-effective, time-consuming and biased. When sufficient amount of training data is not available, semi-supervised learning is one of the machine learning paradigms that can be applied to get pseudo label from unlabeled data. Cluster and label is a basic approach for semi-supervised learning to identify the high-density region in data space which is mainly used to support the supervised learning. However, clustering with conventional method may lead to prediction performance which is worse than supervised learning algorithms for application of LTR. Thus, we propose rank preserving clustering (RPC) with PLocalSearch and get pseudo label for unlabeled data. We present semi-supervised learning that adopts clustering-based transductive method and combine it with nonmeasure specific listwise approach to learn the LTR model. Moreover, each cluster follows the multi-task learning to avoid optimization of multiple loss functions. It reduces the training complexity of adopted listwise approach from an exponential order to a polynomial order. Empirical analysis on the standard datasets (LETOR) shows that the proposed model gives better results as compared to other state-of-the-arts.

Scientific research papers play a vital role for innovation of new technology. It is the future of the development where a novice person can understand the technology and tries to develop a new idea. In this paper, concentrated on relative order for a group of items applied to scientific research paper. In this process we identify how LTR differs from standard supervised learning in the sense that instead of looking at a precise score or class for each sample, it aims to discover the best relative order for a group of items. Firstly we identified the work of ranking of scientific research papers using traditional method know as supervised learning. Secondly we evaluated and made the comparison between the supervised learning and the scalable Tensor flow library for learning to rank. Apart from solving information retrieval problems, Learning to Ranking is mostly used in areas like Natural language processing (NLP), Machine translation, Computational biology or Sentiment analysis.
