  • Patent number: 7805438
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a ranking function using a fidelity-based loss between a target probability and a model probability for a pair of documents is provided. A fidelity ranking system generates a fidelity ranking function that ranks the relevance of documents to queries. The fidelity ranking system operates to minimize a fidelity loss between pairs of documents of training data. The fidelity loss may be derived from “fidelity” as used in the field of quantum physics. The fidelity ranking system may use a learning technique in conjunction with a fidelity loss when generating the ranking function. After the fidelity ranking system generates the fidelity ranking function, it uses the fidelity ranking function to rank the relevance of documents to queries.
