New Yahoo Research Paper
The Yahoo Research lab isn’t getting lazy. Their latest paper (synopsis shown below) should be easy to understand for everyone. Everyone working in the field of rocket science, that is.
“In this paper we investigate the convergence of iterative stationary and Krylov subspace methods for the PageRank linear system, including the convergence dependency on teleportation. We demonstrate that linear system iterations converge faster than the simple power method and are less sensitive to the changes in teleportation. In order to perform this study we developed a framework for parallel PageRank computing. We describe the details of the parallel implementation and provide experimental results obtained on a 70-node Beowulf cluster.”
