Ranking functions are mathematical tools used to assign scores or ranks to elements in a dataset based on certain criteria, facilitating the ordering or prioritization of these elements. They are essential in fields like information retrieval, machine learning, and decision-making processes where comparative assessments are needed.

Information retrieval is the process of obtaining relevant information from a large repository, typically using algorithms to match user queries with data. It plays a crucial role in search engines, digital libraries, and databases, focusing on efficiency, accuracy, and relevance of the results provided to the user.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable computers to improve their performance on a task through experience. It leverages data to train models that can make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for specific tasks.
