+    Margin Ranking Loss Layer for ranking problem,

+    The ranking loss can be defined as following equation:
 
     .. math::
 
         rank\_loss &= max(0, -label * (left - right) + margin)
 
     Args:
-       label (Variable): Indicats whether left higher than (right + margin) or not.
-       left (Variable): rank score for left.
-       right (Variable): rank score for right.
-       margin (float): Indicates the margin to be added to right
+       label (Variable): Indicates whether the left is ranked higher than the right or not.
+       left (Variable): ranking score for left.
+       right (Variable): ranking score for right.
+       margin (float): Indicates the given margin to be added to right
        name (str|None): A name for this layer (optional). If set None, the layer
                        will be named automatically.
     Returns:
-       list: The value of rank loss.
+       list: The Variable of ranking loss.
     Raises:
-       ValueError: Any of label, left, and right is not a variable.
