This document summarizes an approach to improve personalized ranking using associated edge weights. The key points are:
1) Personalized ranking aims to improve traditional search and retrieval by tailoring results to a user's interests. Authority flow approaches like PageRank and ObjectRank can be used for personalized ranking on entity-relationship graphs.
2) Edge-based personalization assigns different weights to edge types based on the user, affecting authority flow. The paper focuses on improving edge-based personalization by hybridizing the ScaleRank algorithm with k-means clustering.
3) ScaleRank approximates the DataApprox algorithm for ranking. The hybrid approach uses k-means clustering on ScaleRank output to further group related nodes,
