In this work, we will verify some comparison results on Kahler manifolds. They are complex Hessian comparison for the distance function from a closed complex submanifold of a Kahler manifold with holomorphic bisectional curvature bounded below by a constant, eigenvalue comparison and volume comparison in terms of scala…

Comparison data arises in many important contexts, e.g. shopping, web clicks, or sports competitions. Typically we are given a dataset of comparisons and wish to train a model to make predictions about the outcome of unseen comparisons. In many cases available datasets have relatively few comparisons (e.g. there are on…

We study the problem of ranking from crowdsourced pairwise comparisons. Answers to pairwise tasks are known to be affected by the position of items on the screen, however, previous models for aggregation of pairwise comparisons do not focus on modeling such kind of biases. We introduce a new aggregation model factorBT …

We present a survey of statistical methods that can be used for classifier comparison using precision, accounting for inter-precision corre…

We show that if a Riemannian manifold satisfies (3,3)-bipolar comparisons and has an open flat subset then it is flat. The same holds for a version of MTW where the perpendicularity is dropped. In particular we get that the (3,3)-bipolar comparison is strictly stronger than the Alexandrov comparison.
