Here's an in-depth look into harmonic centrality, why it's useful for search engines, and how it compares against PageRank. Graphs help us understand the real world better by mathematical abstractions ...

Using a link analysis algorithm similar to Google PageRank, researchers at the SANS Institute and SRI International have created a new Internet network defense service that completely revamps the way ...

A computational chemist at Washington State University has adapted Google's seminal search algorithm, PageRank, so that instead of mapping trillions of web pages it maps out the shapes and chemical ...

Simple works best, so no complex numbers here. Just a picture and words. PageRank is a number. If you put a link from page A to page B, page A will distribute PageRank to page B. Page A's PageRank ...

When two unknown graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, first described Google in an academic paper published in 1998, the key innovation that drove their improved search engine was the ...

Every aspect of modern science revolves around publishing important and timely articles in journals where they are more likely to be noticed–in some cases, exposure can be more important than ...
