  • Adaptive computation of ranking
    Patent number: 7028029
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed in which a ranking function for a set of document rank values is iteratively solved with respect to a set of linked documents until a first stability condition is satisfied. After such condition is satisfied, some of the ranks will have converged. The ranking function is modified to take into account these converged ranks so as to reduce the ranking function's computation cost. The modified ranking function is then solved until a second stability condition is satisfied. After such condition is satisfied more of the ranks will have converged. The ranking function is again modified and process continues until complete.
