Abstract

We present a Bayesian approach to ordinal regression. Our model is based on a hierarchical mixture of experts model and performs a soft partitioning of the input space into different ranks, such that the order of the ranks is preserved. Experimental results on benchmark data sets show a comparable performance to support vector machine and Gaussian process methods.
