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 ...

The PageRank algorithm is a key part of Google’s method of ranking web pages in search results. It uses the network of links between web pages to determine their value and, famously, judges a page to ...

PageRank is a foundational algorithm that has significantly influenced the way search engines rank webpages by assessing both the quantity and quality of inbound links. The technique, originally ...

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 algorithm for ranking web-pages can be used to determine which species are critical for sustaining ecosystems. Now researchers find that "PageRank" can be applied to the study of food webs, ...

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: ...

Here's an in-depth look into harmonic centrality, why it's useful for search engines, and how it compares against PageRank. Graphs help us understand the real world better by mathematical abstractions ...
