THOR: Threshold-Based Ranking Loss for Ordinal Regression
In this work, we present a regression-based ordinal regression algorithm for supervised classification of instances into ordinal categories. In contrast to previous methods, in this work the decision boundaries between categories are predefined, and the algorithm learns to project the input examples onto their appropriate scores according to these predefined boundaries. This is achieved by adding a novel threshold-based pairwise loss function that aims at minimizing the regression error, which in turn minimizes the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) measure. We implemented our proposed architecture-agnostic method using the CNN-framework for feature extraction. Experimental results on five real-world benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves the best MAE results compared to state-of-the-art ordinal regression algorithms.

Continuously Generalized Ordinal Regression for Linear and Deep Models
Ordinal regression is a classification task where classes have an order and prediction error increases the further the predicted class is from the true class. The standard approach for modeling ordinal data involves fitt…
