On the Impact of Outlier Bias on User Clicks

Fatemeh Sarvi, Ali Vardasbi, Mohammad Aliannejadi +2

User interaction data is an important source of supervision in counterfactual learning to rank (CLTR). Such data suffers from presentation bias. Much work in unbiased learning to r…

Intersection of Parallels as an Early Stopping Criterion

Ali Vardasbi, Maarten de Rijke, Mostafa Dehghani

A common way to avoid overfitting in supervised learning is early stopping, where a held-out set is used for iterative evaluation during training to find a sweet spot in the number…

When Inverse Propensity Scoring does not Work: Affine Corrections for Unbiased Learning to Rank

Ali Vardasbi, Harrie Oosterhuis, Maarten de Rijke

Besides position bias, which has been well-studied, trust bias is another type of bias prevalent in user interactions with rankings: users are more likely to click incorrectly w.r.…
