Description

❓ Is it possible to expand support for Ranking Loss, such as Listwise Ranking Loss or Pairwise Ranking Loss, as well as Mixed Loss (MSE+Ranking)

If not supported, how to customize the loss function outside the framework and configure it to be called using qlib in YAML
The existing MSE for predicting section TopK cannot take into account the relative ranking relationship between instruments, and the effect is not very good.
