<p>Systems and methods are provided for ranking linked documents (e.g., web pages on the Internet) by modeling how users are expected to use links between the documents. One embodiment is a system that includes a memory and a controller. The memory stores probabilities for documents that each indicate a likelihood of using a link at a document to view another document. The controller is able to assign an initial value to each document, and for each document, to diffuse the integer floor part of the value from the document to other documents based on the probabilities. The controller is further able to rank the documents based on an amount of value that was diffused from each document.</p> |
