First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. The authors present a novel approach to learning to rank. In contrast to traditional approaches, the idea is to focus on the number of positive instances that are ranked before the first negative one. Following a large-margin approach leads to primal and dual representations. Compared to similar approaches, the complexity is only linear in the number of instances.
