Second, Wikipedia’s outlinks behave similar to inlinks and both are good indicators of relevance, whereas on ...
متن کاملPageRank on Wikipedia: Towards General Importance Scores for Entities

In that realm, the PageRank algorithm has been used to analyze directed graphs, in particular the link structure of the Web. Recent developments in information retrieval focus on entities and their relations (i. e. knowledge graph panels). Many entities are documented in the popular knowledge base Wikipedia. The cro...
