摘要翻译：
序回归是一种重要的学习类型，它既具有分类性质，又具有回归性质。在这里，我们描述了一种简单有效的方法来适应传统的神经网络学习序数类别。我们的方法是有序回归感知器方法的推广。在几个基准数据集上，我们的方法（NNRank）优于神经网络分类方法。与使用高斯过程和支持向量机的有序回归方法相比，NNRank具有相当的性能。此外，NNRank具有传统神经网络的优点：在线和批量学习模式，处理非常大的训练数据集，并进行快速预测。这些特性使NNRank成为大规模数据处理任务的有用和补充工具，如信息检索、网页排序、协同过滤和生物信息学中的蛋白质排序。

英文摘要：
Ordinal regression is an important type of learning, which has properties of both classification and regression. Here we describe a simple and effective approach to adapt a traditional neural network to learn ordinal categories. Our approach is a generalization of the perceptron method for ordinal regression. On several benchmark datasets, our method (NNRank) outperforms a neural network classification method. Compared with the ordinal regression methods using Gaussian processes and support vector machines, NNRank achieves comparable performance. Moreover, NNRank has the advantages of traditional neural networks: learning in both online and batch modes, handling very large training datasets, and making rapid predictions. These features make NNRank a useful and complementary tool for large-scale data processing tasks such as information retrieval, web page ranking, collaborative filtering, and protein ranking in Bioinformatics.
