In this paper, we consider a problem of learning supervised PageRank models, which can account for some properties not considered by classical approaches such as the classical PageRank algorithm. Due to huge hidden dimension of the…

PageRank is a Web page ranking technique that has been a fundamental ingredient in the development and success of the Google search engine. The method is still one of the many signals that Google uses to determine which pages are most…

We consider a variant of so called power-law random graph. A sequence of expected degrees corresponds to a power-law degree distribution with finite mean and infinite variance. In previous works the asymptotic picture with number of nodes…
