- your papers. Your five questions are due NOW, pass/fail.
- You have a new homework assignment, which we'll get started on today.
Question of the Day:
Before we go there, however, let's just recall what we talked about last time:
- Google's PageRank algorithm is used to determine the value of
websites based on their connectivity: high value sites linking to yours
give yours more credibility. Each website shares its value by imparting
weight to other sites, with weight apportioned equally.
Now here's a big question: How do you improve the value of your website, given that you understand the PageRank algorithm?
Side note: Google's plan to prioritize facts ticks off climate deniers: The strategy isn't being implemented yet, but the paper presented a method for adapting algorithms such that they would generate a "Knowledge-Based Trust" score for every page. To do this, the algorithm would pick out statements and compare them with Google's Knowledge Vault, a database of facts. It would also attempt to assess the trustworthiness of sources -- for example, a reputable news site versus a newly created WordPress blog....
- Let's take another look at Betsy's question, about solving without iterating.
- Adjacency: those will be our edges
- Matrix: a rectangular array of data (frequently numbers).
- Let's build a few adjancy matrices:
- $K_{5}$ and $K_{3,3}$
- Konigsberg
- Europe
- Google example
- Europe
- $K_{5}$ and $K_{3,3}$
- How might we tie this back to Pascal's Triangle?
