Nonlocal PageRank

28 Jan 2020  ·  Stefano Cipolla, Fabio Durastante, Francesco Tudisco ·

In this work we introduce and study a nonlocal version of the PageRank. In our approach, the random walker explores the graph using longer excursions than just moving between neighboring nodes. As a result, the corresponding ranking of the nodes, which takes into account a long-range interaction between them, does not exhibit concentration phenomena typical for spectral rankings taking into account just local interactions. We show that the predictive value of the rankings obtained using our proposals is considerably improved on different real world problems.
