Interactive Search for One of the Top-k
Summary: Interactive top-k search learns user preference from pairwise comparisons to return a top-k result with reduced output. 2D-PI achieves asymptotically optimal question counts in 2D; HD-PI and RH extend to d≥2 with guarantees on queries and runtime; experiments show fewer questions and faster results.
