When the accuracy levels of the experts are known, the problem can be solved easily through maximum likelihood estimation. We consider, however, a setting in which we are given only a ranking of the experts by their accuracy. Motivated by the worst-case approach to handle the missing information, we consider three objective functions and design efficient algorithms for optimizing them. In particular, the recently popular distortion objective leads to an intuitive new rule. We show that our algorithms perform well empirically using real and synthetic data in collaborative filtering and political prediction domains.}, number={6}, journal={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence}, author={Halpern, Daniel and Kehne, Gregory and Peters, Dominik and Procaccia, Ariel D. and Shah, Nisarg and Skowron, Piotr}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={5456-5463} }
