Learning to rank(L2R) techniques try to solve sorting problems using machine learning methods, and have been well studied and widely used in various fields such as information retrieval, text mining, personalized recommendation, and biomedicine. The main task of L2 R based recommendation algorithms is integrating L2 R techniques into recommendation algorithms, and studying how to organize a large number of users and features of items, build more suitable user models according to user preferences requirements, and improve the performance and user satisfaction of recommendation algorithms. This paper surveys L2 R based recommendation algorithms in recent years, summarizes the problem definition, compares key technologies and analyzes evaluation metrics and their applications. In addition, the paper discusses the future development trend of L2 R based recommendation algorithms.
