[Reading] Lecture 16 - Support Vector Learning for Ordinal Regression

This paper poposed a machine learning method to solve the problem - ordinal regression. The job is similar to doing classification, but there exists ordering relationships among different classes. The authors solve the problem by modifying an ordinary SVM framework. This paper is hard to read for me since I am not familiar with the mathematical parts of SVM.
