DenoiseRank: Learning to Rank by Diffusion Models

ArXi:2604.20852v1 Announce Type: cross Learning to rank (LTR) is one of the core tasks in Machine Learning. Traditional LTR models have made great progress, but nearly all of them are implemented from discriminative perspective. In this paper, we aim at addressing LTR from a novel perspective, i.e., by a deep generative model. Specifically, we propose a novel denoise rank model, DenoiseRank, which noises the relevant labels in the diffusion process and denoises them on the query documents in the reverse process to accurately predict their distribution.
