A good explanation about the convergence of various algorithms. This paper also describes an adaptive and on-line algorithm for computing the page importance. It can be used for focus crawling as well as for search engine's ranking.
HITs is a link-structure analysis algorithm which ranks pages by "authorities" (pages which have many incoming links and provide the best source of information on a given topic) and "hubs" (pages which have many outgoing links and provide useful lists...
This paper describes a prototype system, later known as the Teoma Search Engine. It performs a Link Analysis, loosely based on the Kleimberg method, and computed at query time.
A paper about the computation of PageRank using the standard Power Method and the new Quadratic Extrapolation which computes the principal eigenvector of the Markov matrix representing the Web link graph with an increased speed up of about 50-300%.
A survey on PageRank, Hits and SALSA. It also describes two Bayesian statistical algorithms for ranking of hyperlinked documents and the concepts of monotonicity and locality, as well as various concepts of distance and similarity between ranking algo...
It proposes a new weighted HITS-based method that assigns appropriate weights to in-links of root documents and combines content analysis with HITS-based algorithms.
