Abstract:

Over the past decades, learning to rank (LTR) algorithms have been gradually applied to bioinformatics. Such methods have shown significant advantages in multiple research tasks in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize and discuss the application of these algorithms so that these algorithms are convenient and contribute to bioinformatics. In this paper, the characteristics of LTR algorithms and their strengths over other types of algorithms are analyzed based on the application of multiple perspectives in bioinformatics. Finally, the paper further discusses the shortcomings of the LTR algorithms, the methods and means to better use the algorithms and some open problems that currently exist.

Keywords:

Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric statistics are ideal for nominal and ordinal data, requiring fewer assumptions about the population's nature or distribution. This makes nonparametric methods easier to apply and interpret, as they do not depend on parameters like mean or standard deviation. One common approach in nonparametric analysis is to sort data according to a specific criterion. For instance, we might arrange weather data from hottest to coldest days in a month or rank cities...
