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 ...

When two unknown graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, first described Google in an academic paper published in 1998, the key innovation that drove their improved search engine was the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

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 ...
