中文简介:
摘要研究了如何利用用户的评论,如大拇指和星星等,对论坛中的条目进行排序的机制设计问题。我们比较论坛用户评价单个帖子的机制,也比较要求用户两两比较并说明哪个更好的机制。评估机制的主要衡量标准是排名的准确性与评审的成本,而评审的成本是以每篇文章的平均评审次数来衡量的。我们表明,对于许多合理的概率模型,没有基于拇指(或星形)的排名机制,可以产生近似准确的排名,每个项目的评论数量有限。另一方面,我们提出了一种基于两两比较的评审机制,以有限的成本获得近似的排名。我们已经实现了一个名为“呼喊速度[5]”的系统,这是一个类似于twitter的论坛,但项目(即在美国,推特(Twitter)上的推文(tweets)是通过比较来评分的。对于每个新条目,发布该条目的用户都需要比较前面的两个条目。这确保了在n篇文章的序列中,我们平均每个条目至少需要进行n次比较。我们的机制使用这个比较序列来获得排名估计。它确保每个项目都至少审查一次,并且更经常地审查获奖项目,以便更好地估计最重要的项目。
课程简介: We study the problem of designing a mechanism to rank items in forums by making use of the user reviews such as thumb and star ratings. We compare mechanisms where forum users rate individual posts and also mechanisms where the user is asked to perform a pairwise comparison and state which one is better. The main metric used to evaluate a mechanism is the ranking accuracy vs the cost of reviews, where the cost is measured as the average number of reviews used per post. We show that for many reasonable probability models, there is no thumb (or star) based ranking mechanism that can produce approximately accurate rankings with bounded number of reviews per item. On the other hand we provide a review mechanism based on pairwise comparisons which achieves approximate rankings with bounded cost. We have implemented a system, shout velocity [5], which is a twitter-like forum but items (i.e., tweets in Twitter) are rated by using comparisons. For each new item the user who posts the item is required to compare two previous entries. This ensures that over a sequence of n posts, we get at least n comparisons requiring one review per item on average. Our mechanism uses this sequence of comparisons to obtain a ranking estimate. It ensures that every item is reviewed at least once and winning entries are reviewed more often to obtain better estimates of top items.
