The EigenRumor Algorithm for Ranking Blogs



Ko Fujimura (speaker), Takafumi Inoue, and Masayuki Sugisaki

This paper proposes a new algorithm called "EigenRumor" that scores each blog entry based on eigenvector calculations. This algorithm enables a higher score to be assigne to the blog entries submitted by a good blogger but not yet linked to by any other blogs based on acceptance of the blogger's prior work.
