Since introduction of the PageRank technique, it is known that it ranks web pages effectively In spite of its usefulness, we found a computational drawback, which we call norm-leak, that PageRank values become smaller than they should be in some cases. We present an improved PageRank algorithm that computes the PageRank values of the web pages correctly as well as its efficient implementation. Experimental results, in which over 67 million real web pages are used, are also presented.

The Google search site (http://www.google.com), which was introduced in 1998, implemented the PageRank algorithm for the first time. PageRank is a ranking method based on the link structure of the Web pages. Even though PageRank has been implemented and being used in various commercial search engines, implementation details did not get documented well, primarily due to business reasons. Implementation techniques introduced in [4,8] are not sufficient to produce PageRank values of Web pages. This paper explains the techniques[4,8], and suggests major data structure and four implementation techniques in order to apply the PageRank algorithm. The paper helps understand the methods of applying PageRank algorithm by means of showing a real system that produces PageRank values of Web pages.

"소셜 네트워크(Social Network)와 검색(Search)의 만남"은 현재 인터넷 상에서 매우 의미 있는 두 영역의 결합이다. 이와 같은 두 영역의 결합을 통해 소셜 네트워크 내에서 친구들의 생각이나 관심사 및 활동을 검색하고 공유함으로써 검색의 효율성과 적합성을 높이기 위한 연구들이 활발히 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 소셜 관계 랭크(SRR : Social Relation Rank) 및 토픽이 반영된 소셜 관계 랭크(TS_SRR : Topic Sensitive_Social Relation Rank) 알고리즘을 제안한다. SRR은 소셜 네트워크 내에 존재하는 웹 사용자들의 내재적인 특성 및 검색 성향 등에 대한 관련성(또는 유사정도)을 수치로 산정한 '소셜 관계 지수(SRV : Social Relation Value)'에 랭킹(Ranking)을 부여한 것을 의미한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 검색 적용 가능성을 검증하기 위해 첫째, 웹 사용자간 직접 또는 간접적인 연결로 구성된 소셜네트워크를 구성 한다. 둘째, 웹 사용자들의 속성에 내재된 정보를 이용하여 토픽별 SRV를 산정한 후 랭킹을 부여하고, 토픽별 변화되는 랭킹에 따라 소셜 네트워크를 재구성 한다. 마지막으로 (TS_)SRR과 웹 사용자들의 검색 패턴(Search Pattern)을 비교 실험 한다. 실험 결과 (TS_)SRR이 높은 웹 사용자 간에는 검색 패턴 또한 유사함을 확인 하였다. 결론적으로 (TS_)SRR 알고리즘을 기반으로 관심분야에 연관성이 높은, 즉 상위에 랭크 된 웹 사용자들을 검색하여 검색 패턴을 공유 또는 상속받는 다면 개인화 검색(Personalized Search) 및 소셜 검색(Social Search)의 효율성과 신뢰성 향상에 기여 할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a personalized Chinese character education system using RankBoost algorithm on a smartphone. In a typical Chinese character education scenario, a trainee is supplied with a finite number of Chinese characters as an input set in the beginning. And, as the training session repeats, the trainee will notice her/his difficult characters in the set which she/he hardly answers. Those characters reflect their personalized degrees of difficulty. Our proposed system constructs these personalized degrees of difficulty using RankBoost algorithm. In the beginning, the algorithm start with the set of Chinese characters, of which each is associated with the same weight values. As the training sessions are repeated, the algorithm increase the weights of Chinese characters that the trainee mistakes, thereby eventually constructs the personalized difficulty degrees of Chinese characters. The proposed algorithm maximizes the educational effects by having the trainee exposed to difficult characters more than easy ones.

This paper aims to propose the most appropriate method for calculating the journal PageRank in a domestic citation database. Korean journals show relatively high journal self-citation ratios and have many outgoing citations to external journals which are not included in the domestic citation database. Because the PageRank algorithm requires recursive calculation to converge, those two characteristics of domestic citation databases must be accounted for in order to measure the citation impact of Korean journals. Therefore, two PageRank calculation methods and four formulas for self-citation adjustment have been examined and tested for KSCD journals. The results of the correlation analysis and regression analysis show that the SCImago Journal Rank formula with the cr2 type self-citation adjustment method seems to be a more appropriate way to measure the relative impact of domestic journals in the Korean Science Citation Database.

Today, most web pages are being created in the blogspace or evolving into the blogspace. A blog entry (blog page) includes non-traditional features of Web pages, such as trackback links, bloggers' authority, tags, and comments. Thus, the traditional rank algorithms are not proper to evaluate blog entries because those algorithms do not consider the blog specific features. In this paper, a new algorithm called "Blog-Rank" is proposed. This algorithm ranks blog entries by calculating bloggers' reputation scores, trackback scores, and comment scores based on the features of the blog entries. This algorithm is also applied to searching for information related to the users' queries in the blogspace. The experiment shows that it finds the much more relevant information than the traditional ranking algorithms.

Many search algorithms have been implemented by many researchers on the world wide web. One of the best algorithms is Google using PageRank technology. PageRank approach computes the number of inlink of each documents then ranks documents in the order of inlink members. But it is difficult to find the results that user needs, because this method find documents not valueable for a person but valueable for the public. To solve this problem, We use the WordNet for analysis of the user's query history. This paper proposes a personalized search engine using the user's query history and PageRank Check. We compared the performance of the proposed approaches with google search results in the top 30. As a result, the average of the r-precision for the proposed approaches is about 60% and it is better as about 14%.

The identification of genes that contribute to the prediction of prognosis in patients with cancer is one of the challenges in providing appropriate therapies. To find the prognostic genes, several classification models using gene expression data have been proposed. However, the prediction accuracy of cancer prognosis is limited due to the heterogeneity of cancer. In this paper, we integrate microarray data with biological network data using a modified PageRank algorithm to identify prognostic genes. We also predict the prognosis of patients with 6 cancer types (including breast carcinoma) using the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm. Before we apply the modified PageRank, we separate samples by K-Means clustering to address the heterogeneity of cancer. The proposed algorithm showed better performance than traditional algorithms for prognosis. We were also able to identify cluster-specific biological processes using GO enrichment analysis.

As people have heightened attention to blogs that are individual media, a variety rank algorithms was proposed for the blog search. These algorithms was modified for structural features of blogs that differ from typical web sites, and measured blogs' reputations or popularities based on the interaction results like links, comments or trackbacks and reflected in the search system. But actual blog search systems use not only blog-ranks but also search words, a time factor and so on. Nevertheless, those might not produce desirable results. In this paper, we suggest a topic-rank technique, which can find blogs that have significant degrees of association with topics. This technique is a method which ranks the relations between blogs and indexed words of blog posts as well as the topics representing blog posts. The blog rankings of correlations with search words are can be effectively computed in the blog retrieval by the proposed technique. After comparing precisions and coverage ratios of our blog retrieval system which applis our proposed topic-rank technique, we know that the performance of the blog retrieval system using topic-rank technique is more effective than others.
