Google’s means to provide better search results Qi-Yuan Gou
Considerations • Volume of the database • How large is the Internet? • "The World's Largest Matrix Computation.“ • Cleve Moler, founder of Matlab Source: www.wikipedia.com Source: www.wikipedia.com
History • Pagerank: What is it? • Larry Page • Sergey Brin • Google Source: www.wikipedia.com
Preparation • Graph theory • Network analysis • Computer science • Linear algebra • Stochastic process • Markov process • Set of possible outcomes/states is finite • Probability of n depends only on n-1 • The probabilities are constant over time Source: www.york.ac.uk
The Strategy • Markov process determines starting matrices • Diagonalize • Find steady-state vectors • Solution gives the overall rankings – PR – to each element
