Learning to Rank papers, 2023–2026

Key findings

• Learning to Rank fell from 142 papers in 2023 to 55 in 2026, so interest is cooling.
• NeurIPS publishes the most Learning to Rank work: 154 papers from 2023 to 2026, 60% of the four-venue total.
• The fastest-growing overlap is with Low-Rank Adaptation: papers tagged with both rose from 39 in 2023 to 43 in 2026.
• Among the 5 topics under Information Retrieval, it ranks #4 by 2026 paper count; the fastest grower in the group, Cross-Encoder Reranking, is up 3.0x versus 0.4x here.
