Contextual Link Analysis for Web Search

  • Brian D. Davison | Lehigh University

Traditional web link-based ranking schemes use a single score to measure a page`s authority without concern for the community from which that authority is derived. As a result, a resource that is highly popular for one topic may dominate the results of another topic in which it is less authoritative. In this talk I will give an overview of our work to address this problem by incorporating contextual models into the analysis of link-based authority.
