We introduce an O(ms + m log(m)) time complexity method for training the linear ranking support vector machine, where in is the number of training examples, and s the average number of non-zero features per example. The method generalizes the fastest previously known approach, which achieves the same efficiency only in restricted special cases. The excellent scalability of the proposed method is demonstrated experimentally.
