An important issue arising from Peer-to-Peer applications is how to accurately and efficiently retrieve a set of K best matching data objects from different sources while minimizi...
We present a variant of PageRank, WLRank, that considers different Web page attributes to give more weight to some links, improving the precision of the answers. Categories and Su...
— One of the central issues in Learning to Rank (L2R) for Information Retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures ...
There has been an explosion of hyperlinked data in many domains, e.g., the biological Web. Expressive query languages and effective ranking techniques are required to convert this...
In this paper, we attempt to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of query-dependent link-based ranking algorithms such as HITS, MAX and SALSA. All these ranking algorith...
