PageRank is a link analysis algorithm and it assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is referred to as the PageRank of E and denoted by {\displaystyle PR(E).} PR(E). Other factors like Author Rank can contribute to the importance of an entity.
A PageRank results from a mathematical algorithm based on the webgraph, created by all World Wide Web pages as nodes and hyperlinks as edges, taking into consideration authority hubs such as cnn.com or usa.gov. The rank value indicates an importance of a particular page. A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The PageRank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it ("incoming links"). A page that is linked to by many pages with high PageRank receives a high rank itself.
Numerous academic papers concerning PageRank have been published since Page and Brin's original paper.[5] In practice, the PageRank concept may be vulnerable to manipulation. Research has been conducted into identifying falsely influenced PageRank rankings. The goal is to find an effective means of ignoring links from documents with falsely influenced PageRank.
Other link-based ranking algorithms for Web pages include the HITS algorithm invented by Jon Kleinberg (used by Teoma and now Ask.com),the IBM CLEVER project, the TrustRank algorithm and the hummingbird algorithm.

Data cube computation involves precomputing aggregations to enable fast query performance. There are different materialization strategies like full cubes, iceberg cubes, and shell cubes. Full cubes precompute all aggregations but require significant storage, while iceberg cubes only store aggregations that meet a threshold. Computation strategies include sorting and grouping to aggregate similar values, caching intermediate results, and aggregating from smallest child cuboids first. The Apriori pruning method can efficiently compute iceberg cubes by avoiding computing descendants of cells that do not meet the minimum support threshold.

The document discusses applications of Markov chains, including PageRank and random walks. It provides details on:
- PageRank, which was developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to rank web pages based on the link structure of the web. It models the random surfing of a user on the web as a Markov chain.
- The PageRank algorithm assigns initial uniform probabilities to web pages and then iteratively updates the probabilities based on the links between pages until it converges. This stationary distribution provides the ranking of pages.
- Computing PageRank on the entire web graph is slow, so Google estimates it by running the random walk for a finite number of steps to approximate the stationary distribution.

PageRank is a method for ranking web pages based on the link structure of the web. It assigns a ranking to each page based on both the number and quality of links from other pages. The quality of a page is determined in part by the quality of pages linking to it, as indicated by their own PageRank. PageRank handles both inbound and outbound links to measure a page's importance and spread rankings iteratively through the link structure. It helps search engines better understand the vastness of the web and order results.

This document provides an overview of PageRank, the algorithm used by Google to rank websites in search results. PageRank is a way to measure a page's importance by analyzing the number and quality of links to it, with more incoming links and links from important pages improving its rank. The algorithm calculates PageRank recursively based on the PageRank scores of incoming pages divided by the number of outgoing links. It also includes a damping factor to account for random surfing. The Google Toolbar displays an approximate PageRank value from 0 to 10 to indicate a page's importance relative to other sites.
PageRank is an algorithm used by Google to determine the importance of websites based on their link structure. It assigns a numerical ranking to each site which indicates the probability that a random user would visit that page. The algorithm models a random web surfer who gets bored and randomly jumps to other pages. It considers both the number and quality of links to a page, with pages getting ranking from other highly ranked pages that link to them. The PageRank of all pages forms a probability distribution and can be calculated iteratively through a damping factor that determines how much ranking is passed through links.
This document discusses the PageRank algorithm used by Google to rank web pages. It begins with an introduction to how search engines work and the importance of PageRank. It then provides an example network of 12 web pages connected by links. It explains how to represent this as a matrix and use a damping factor to calculate the PageRank values for each page. The document concludes with business recommendations around optimizing link structure and content to improve PageRank.
PageRank is a method for ranking web pages based on the link structure of the web. It was developed by Google to help search engines make sense of the vast heterogeneity of the World Web. PageRank works by treating individual web pages as nodes and links between pages as edges, and recursively propagating importance weights through this link structure. It helps address issues like some pages having more backlinks but from less important places compared to pages with fewer but highly ranked backlinks. Dangling links that point to pages with no outgoing links are initially removed to avoid them forming rank sinks before final PageRank calculations are made.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

3. Background
PageRank was presented and published by Sergey Brin and
Larry Page at the Seventh International World Wide Web
Conference (WWW7) in April 1998.
The aim of this algorithm is track some difficulties with the
content-based ranking algorithms of early search engines
which used text documents for webpages to retrieve the
information with no explicit relationship of link between
them.
4. Introduction to PageRank
• PageRank is an algorithm uses to measure the
importance of website pages using hyperlinks between
pages.
• Some hyperlinks point to pages to the same site (in link)
and others point to pages in other Web sites(out link).
• PageRank is a “vote”, by all the other pages on the Web,
about how important a page is.
• A link to a page counts as a vote of support
5. PageRank Algorithm
The main concepts:
• In-links of page i : These are the hyperlinks that point to page i from other
pages. Usually, hyperlinks from the same site are not considered.
• Out-links of page i : These are the hyperlinks that point out to other pages
from page i .
The following ideas based on rank prestige are used to derive the
PageRank algorithm:
• A hyperlink from a page pointing to another page is an implicit conveyance
of authority to the target page. Thus, the more in-links that a page i
receives, the more prestige the page i has.
• Pages that point to page i also have their own prestige scores. A page with
a higher prestige score pointing to i is more important than a page with a
lower prestige score pointing to i .
6.
7. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
To formulate the above ideas, we treat the Web as
a directed graph G = (V, E), where V is the set of vertices
or nodes, i.e., the set of all pages, and E is the set of
directed edges in the graph, i.e., hyperlinks. Let the
total number of pages on the Web be n (i.e., n = |V|).
The PageRank score of the page i (denoted by P(i)) is defined by:
1-
Oj is the number of out-links of page j.
8. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
Mathematically, we have a system of n linear equations (1) with n
unknowns. We can use a matrix to represent all the equations. Let P be
a n-dimensional column vector of PageRank values
Let A be the adjacency matrix of our graph with
2-
We can write the system of n equations with
3-
9. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
the above three conditions come from Markov chains Model, in it; each
Web page in the Web graph is regarded as a state. A hyperlink is a
transition, which leads from one state to another state with a
probability. Thus, this framework models Web surfing as a stochastic
process. It models a Web surfer randomly surfing the Web as a state
transition in the Markov chain .so on, this three conditions are not
satisfied. Because First of all, A is not a stochastic matrix. A stochastic
matrix is the transition matrix for a finite Markov chain whose entries
in each row are nonnegative real numbers and sum to 1. This requires
that every Web page must have at least one out-link. This is not true on
the Web because many pages have no out-links, which are reflected in
transition matrix A by some rows of complete 0’s. Such pages are called
dangling pages (nodes).
10. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
We can see that A is not a stochastic
matrix because the fifth row is all 0’s,
that is, page 5 is a dangling page.
We can fix this problem by adding a
complete set of outgoing links from
each such page i to all the pages on
the Web. Thus, the transition
probability of going from i to every
page is 1/n, assuming a uniform
probability distribution. That is, we
replace each row containing all 0’s
with e/n, where e is n-dimensional
vector of all 1’s.
11. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
Another problems:
A is not irreducible, which means that the Web graph G is not strongly
connected. And to be strongly connected it must have a path from u
to v. (if there is a non-zero probability of transitioning from any state to
any other state).
A is not aperiodic. A state i in a Markov chain being periodic means
that there exists a directed cycle that the chain has to traverse. To be
aperiodic all paths leading from state i back to state i have a length that
is a multiple of k.
It is easy to deal with the above two problems with a single strategy.
We add a link from each page to every page and give each link a small
transition probability controlled by a parameter d, it is used to model
the probability that at each page the surfer will become unhappy with
the links and request another random page.
The parameter d, called the damping factor, can be set to a value
between 0 and 1.
Always d = 0.85.
12. Cont. PageRank Algorithm
• The PageRank model:
• (t: Transpose)
• The PageRank formula for each page i :
T
A
13. Power iteration method:
The PageRank algorithm must be able to deal with billions of pages, meaning
incredibly immense matrices; thus, we need to find an efficient way to calculate the
eigenvector of a square matrix with a dimension in the billions. Thus, the best
option for calculating the eigenvector is through the power method. The power
method is a simple and easy to implement algorithm. Additionally, it is effective in
that it is not necessary to compute a matrix decomposition, which is near-
impossible for matrices containing very few values, such as the link matrix we
receive. The power method does have downsides, however, in that it is only able to
find the eigenvector of the largest absolute-value eigenvalue of a matrix. Also, the
power method must be repeated many times until it converges, which can occur
slowly.
Fortunately, as we are working with a stochastic matrix, the largest eigenvalue is
guaranteed to be 1. Since this is the eigenvector we are searching for, the power
method will return the importance vector we are looking for. Additionally, it has
been proven that the speed of convergence for the Google PageRank matrix is
slower the closer α gets to 0. Since we have set d to be equal to 0.15, we can expect
the speed of convergence to be approximately 50 - 100 iterations, which is the
number of iterations reported by the creators of PageRank to be necessary for
returning sufficiently close values.

15. Simpleexampleusing PageRankwithiteration
2 pages A,B:
• P(A)=(1-d)+d(pagerank(B)/1)
P(A)=0.15+0.85*1=1
• P(B)=(1-d)+d(pagerank(A)/1)
P(B)=0.15+0.85*1=1
When we calculate the PageRank of A and B is 1. now, we plug in 0 as
the guess and calculate again:
P(A)=0.15+0.85*0=0.15
P(B)=0.15+0.85*0.15=0.2775
Continue the second iteration:
P(A)=0.15+0.85*0.2775=0.3859
P(B)=0.15+0.85*0.3859=0.4780
If we repeat the calculations, eventually the PageRank for both the pages
converge to 1.
16. Anotherexampleusing PageRankwithiteration
Three pages A,B And C
• P(A)=(1-d)+d(pagerank(B)+pagerank(C)/1)
• P(B)=(1-d)+d(pagerank(A)/2)
• P(C)=(1-d)+d(pagerank(A)/2)
Begin with the initial value as 0:
1st iteration:
P(A)=0.15+0.85*0=0.15
P(B)=0.15+0.85*(0.15/2)=0.21
P(c)=0.15+0.85*(0.15/2)=0.21
2nd iteration:
P(A)=0.15+0.85*(0.21*2)=0.51
P(B)=0.15+0.85*(0.51/2)=0.37
P(C)=0.15+0.85*(0.51/2)=0.37
24. • Fifth iteration:
We would then continue this iterating until the values are approximately
stable, and we would be able to determine the importance ranking using the
resulting vector. With this, we can see that even with a small count of 5
iterations, our vector was already converging towards the eigenvector. Since
this is the importance vector of our network, we can see that the PageRank
importance ranking of our pages would thus be
2 > 3 > 1 > 4 > 5 > 6

26. Searching with PageRank
Two search engines:
• Title-based search engine
• Full text search engine
• Title-based search engine
Searches only the “Titles”
Finds all the web pages whose titles contain all the query words
Sorts the results by PageRank
Very simple and cheap to implement
Title match ensures high precision, and PageRank ensures high
quality
• Full text search engine
• Called Google
• Examines all the words in every stored document and also
performs PageRank (Rank Merging)
• More precise but more complicated
28. Application using PageRank
• the first and most obvious application of the PageRank algorithm is
for search engines. As it was developed specifically by Google for
use in their search engine, PageRank is able to rank websites in
order to provide more relevant search results faster.
• applied PageRank algorithm is towards searching networks outside
of the internet. this can be applied towards academic papers; by
using citations as a substitute for links, PageRank can determine the
most effective and referenced papers in an academic area.
• real-world application of the PageRank algorithm; for example,
determining key species in an ecology. By mapping the relationships
between species in an ecosystem, applying the PageRank algorithm
allows the user to identify the most important species. Thus, being
able to assign importance towards key animal and plant species in
an ecosystem allows for easier forecasting of consequences such as
extinction or removal of a species from the ecosystem.
29. AdvantageanddisadvantagesofPageRank
algorithm:
Advantages of PageRank:
1. The algorithm is robust against Spam since its not easy for a
webpage owner to add in links to his/her page from other
important pages.
2. PageRank is a global measure and is query independent.
Disadvantages of PageRank:
1. it favors the older pages, because a new page, even a very good
one will not have many links unless it is a part of an existing site.
2. It is very efficient to raise your own PageRank, is ’buying’ a link on
a page with high PageRank.
