We present a physically-inspired model and an efficient algorithm to infer hierarchical rankings of nodes in directed networks. It assigns real-valued ranks to nodes rather than simply ordinal ranks, and it formalizes the assumption that…
Search in social networks such as Facebook poses different challenges than in classical web search: besides the query text, it is important to take into account the searcher's context to provide relevant results. Their social graph is an…
This paper is concerned with distributed computation of several commonly used centrality measures in complex networks. In particular, we propose deterministic algorithms, which converge in finite time, for the distributed computation of the…
Search engines answer users' queries by listing relevant items (e.g. documents, songs, products, web pages, ...). These engines rely on algorithms that learn to rank items so as to present an ordered list maximizing the probability that it…
In the paper we compare well known numerical methods of finding PageRank vector. We propose Markov Chain Monte Carlo method and obtain a new estimation for this method. We also propose a new method for PageRank problem based on the…
Node influence metrics have been applied to many applications, including ranking web pages on internet, or locations on spatial networks. PageRank is a popular and effective algorithm for estimating node influence. However, conventional…
In this paper we present new improvement ideas of the original PageRank algorithm. The first idea is to introduce an evaluation of the statistical reliability of the ranking score of each node based on the local graph property and the…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the weighted paging problem with predictions. This continues the recent line of work in online algorithms with predictions, particularly that of Lykouris and Vassilvitski (ICML 2018) and Rohatgi (SODA…
Algorithmic fairness has attracted significant attention in the past years. Surprisingly, there is little work on fairness in networks. In this work, we consider fairness for link analysis algorithms and in particular for the celebrated…
Ranking functions such as PageRank assign numeric values (ranks) to nodes of graphs, most notably the web graph. Node rankings are an integral part of Internet search algorithms, since they can be used to order the results of queries.…
Personal digital traces are constantly produced by connected devices, internet services and interactions. These digital traces are typically small, heterogeneous and stored in various locations in the cloud or on local devices, making it a…
The push algorithm was proposed first by Jeh and Widom in the context of personalized PageRank computations (albeit the name "push algorithm" was actually used by Andersen, Chung and Lang in a subsequent paper). In this note we describe the…
Recently, real-world recommendation systems need to deal with millions of candidates. It is extremely challenging to conduct sophisticated end-to-end algorithms on the entire corpus due to the tremendous computation costs. Therefore,…
In this work we consider the problem of maximizing the PageRank of a given target node in a graph by adding $k$ new links. We consider the case that the new links must point to the given target node (backlinks). Previous work shows that…
Existing neural relevance models do not give enough consideration for query and item context information which diversifies the search results to adapt for personal preference. To bridge this gap, this paper presents a neural learning…
Recently bipartite graphs have been widely used to represent the relationship two sets of items for information retrieval applications. The Web offers a wide range of data which can be represented by bipartite graphs, such us movies and…
Bipartite networks serve as highly suitable models to represent systems involving interactions between two distinct types of entities, such as online dating platforms, job search services, or ecommerce websites. These models can be…
Personalized recommendation brings about novel challenges in ensuring fairness, especially in scenarios in which users are not the only stakeholders involved in the recommender system. For example, the system may want to ensure that items…
Learning to rank is an effective recommendation approach since its introduction around 2010. Famous algorithms such as Bayesian Personalized Ranking and Collaborative Less is More Filtering have left deep impact in both academia and…
Ranking on large-scale graphs plays a fundamental role in many high-impact application domains, ranging from information retrieval, recommender systems, sports team management, biology to neuroscience and many more. PageRank, together with…
