HITS and PageRank Algorithms: Comparison and Matrix Notation, Slides of Fundamentals of E-Commerce

An example of the hits (hubs and authorities) algorithm and its improvements, as well as an introduction to the pagerank algorithm. Both algorithms are used to determine the importance or relevance of web pages based on their links. The document also includes matrix notation for better understanding.

HITS Improvements

Brarat and Henzinger (1998)^ •^ HITS problems^ 1) The document can contain many

identical

links to

the same document in another host2) Links are generated automatically (e.g. messagesposted on newsgroups) • Solutions 1) Assign weight to

identical

multiple edges, which

are inversely proportional to their multiplicity2) Prune irrelevant nodes or regulating the influenceof a node with a relevance weight

PageRank

•^ Introduced by Page et al (1998)^ –^ The weight is assigned by the rank of parents •^ Difference with HITS^ –^ HITS takes Hubness & Authority weights^ –^ The page rank is proportional to its parents’ rank, butinversely proportional to its parents’ outdegree

Matrix Notation
