... ts is an issue in learning to rank (LTR). Regularized SVM are promising approaches in this context. In this paper, we propose new feature selection algorithms for LTR based on weighted SVM. We investigate an ℓ2-AROM algorithm to solve the ℓ0 norm problem and a weighted ℓ2 algorithm to solve ℓ0 et ℓ1 norm problems. Experiments on benchmarks and commercial datasets show that our algorithms are up to 10 times faster and use up to 7 times less features than state-of-the-art methods, with similar ranking performance.
