Embodiment Construction

[0014] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although these detailed descriptions contain many details for purposes of illustration, those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications and substitutions may be made to those details within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, these embodiments of the invention are set forth without any loss of generality of the invention and without imposing limitations on the invention.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for efficiently ranking nodes in a link database is provided. Typically, a link database has the structure of a directed graph of N link nodes, where the nodes represent documents, records, or other data units, and the links between the nodes represent references, references, or other links between the nodes. Examples of link databases include linked electronic hypertext documents, journa...

Abstract

Techniques for assigning ranks to nodes in a large linked database, such as world wide web or any other hypermedia database, partition the nodes so that the link matrix has a predominantly block-diagonal form. Within each block, a local rank is computed for nodes in the block, possibly by different computer in a distributed computing environment. A block rank is then estimated for each block as a whole, and may optionally include blocklevel weights to implement customized ranking. The local ranks and block ranks are then combined to form a global rank, which may be used to rank the nodes. Alternatively, a global rank vector for the database may be used as an initial vector in an iterative link-based ranking scheme to obtain more accurate global ranks for the nodes. The global rank vector may be divided to provide local rank vectors for use in subsequent applications of the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to improved techniques for analyzing large directed graphs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for reducing the computational complexity of assigning ranks to nodes in a large linked database such as the World Wide Web or any other hypermedia database. Background technique [0002] A linked database (i.e., any database containing documents that reference each other, such as the World Wide Web or other hypermedia archives) can be represented as a directed graph of N nodes, where each node corresponds to a document, and where there are A directional link corresponds to a directional link from one document to another. A given node has a set of forward links connecting it to child nodes, and a set of backward links connecting it to the parent node. [0003] It is often useful to rank or assign significant values ​​to nodes. For example, the relevance of database search results can be impr...
