PageRank can be used for everything from analyzing the world’s most important books to predicting traffic flow to ending sports arguments. When two unknown graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey ...

A computational chemist at Washington State University has adapted Google's seminal search algorithm, PageRank, so that instead of mapping trillions of web pages it maps out the shapes and chemical ...

Associate chemistry professor Aurora Clark of Washington State University and colleagues Barbara Logan Mooney and L. Rene Corrales have applied Google’s PageRank algorithm for determining the ...

Google’s PageRank algorithm is the idea that the importance of a webpage can be measured by the number of important papers that point towards it. Sergey Brin and Larry Page applied the process to ...

Back in June I reported on how Google's Checksum algorithm was backwards engineered. Since then, dozens of PageRank tools became available. There has been a few backlink updates at Google since the ...

Every aspect of modern science revolves around publishing important and timely articles in journals where they are more likely to be noticed--in some cases, exposure can be more important than ...

An Ex-Google software engineer commented in a Hacker News discussion, discussing how Google works. Along the way he mentioned that Google no longer used the original PageRank algorithm. The Hacker ...

Practical quantum computers don’t exist yet, but if they did, could they solve the problem of searching the Web? A particularly challenging problem in finding content is ranking the results: ...

Google’s Pagerank algorithm has become one of the most famous in computer science. It was originally designed to rank websites according to their importance by assuming that a site is important if it ...

Bill Slawski published an article noting that Google updated a patent related to PageRank. This is an important algorithm because it affects how sites are ranked and explains why some sites rank well ...

Giuseppe Paparo and Miguel Martín-Delgado at The Complutense University in Madrid reveal a contender- a quantum version of the original algorithm. This approach is motivated by the progress being made ...
