Learning to rank
====
XGBoost supports accomplishing ranking tasks. In ranking scenario, data are often grouped and we need the [group information file](../../doc/input_format.md#group-input-format) to specify ranking tasks. The model used in XGBoost for ranking is the LambdaRank, this function is not yet completed. Currently, we provide pairwise rank.
### Parameters
The configuration setting is similar to the regression and binary classification setting,except user need to specify the objectives:
```
...
objective="rank:pairwise"
...
```
For more usage details please refer to the [binary classification demo](../binary_classification),
