Abstract
Web search engines need to deal with hundreds and thousands of pages which are relevant to a user's query. Listing them in the right order is an important and non-trivial task. Thus Google introduced PageRank [1] as a popularity measure for Web pages. Besides its primary application in search engines, PageRank also became a major method for evaluating importance of nodes in different informational networks and database systems.

Rank-Stability and Rank-Similarity of Link-Based Web Ranking Algorithms in Authority-Connected Graphs
Web search algorithms that rank Web pages by examining the link structure of the Web are attractive from both theoretical and practical aspects. Today's prevailing link-based ranking algorithms rank Web pages by using the dominant eigenvector of certain ...
Identifying popular search goals behind search queries to improve web search ranking
AIRS'11: Proceedings of the 7th Asia conference on Information Retrieval TechnologyWeb users usually have a certain search goal before they submit a search query. However, many laypersons can't transform their search goals into suitable queries. Thus, understanding original search goals behind a query is very important for search ...
Effective rank aggregation for metasearching
Nowadays, mashup services and especially metasearch engines play an increasingly important role on the Web. Most of users use them directly or indirectly to access and aggregate information from more than one data sources. Similarly to the rest of the ...
