A. Computing Assignment Google's page rank Remark: to complete this assignment, you should download the files harvard500.mat and setup-page-rank. m. You may also find it useful to look at the in-class demo TicToc m (posted on lecture notes page) version of Google's world renowned In this assignment we will implement a toy PageRank algo- One of the reasons why Google is such an effective search engine is the PageRank algorithm rithm. developed by Googles founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, when they were graduate students at Stanford Universi ty. PageRank is determined entirely by the link structure of the World Wide Web. It is recomputed about once a month and does not involve the actual content of any Web pages or individual queries. Instead, for any particular query, Google finds the pages on the Web that match that query and lists those pages in the order of their PageRank. Imagine an internet user surfing the Web, going from page to page by randomly choosing an outgoing link from one page to get to the next. Then if certain web pages have more incoming links then our user will visit those pages more often. Furthermor e, our user can end up in a dead end at pages with no outgoing links, or cycle around cliques of interconnected pages. To avoid such scenarios we assume that a certain fraction of the time, he/she will simply choose a random page from the Web. Such an internet surfer can be modelled using a theoretical random walk known as a Markov chain or Markov process. The limiting probability that an infinitely dedicated random surfer visits any particular page is its PageRank. A page has high rank if it has a lot of incoming links and also other pages with high rank link to it. Our goal is to compute this page rank for a simple collection of webpages from the Harvard Universi website. Start your script by calling the script setup-page rank.m to read the variables U,G, 2, p and N that are used throughout the assignment. The cell vector U contains a list of 500 web URLs from the Harvard website. We will rank these URLs based on their importance. p is a fixed number and N is the length of the vector 2. The matrix G is the connectivity matric of the URLs. G 1 if there is a hyperlink to page i from page j and G 0 otherwise. The matrix can be very large but it has very few nonzero entries. The number of nonzero is the total number of entries in hyperlinks between our URLs. Now define the vector C using Gi In otherwords ci is the total number of hyperlinks coming into page i. Next, define D as the diagonal matrix with entries j and ci 0 otherwise
