Paper Title:
Anchor-based proximity measures
Authors:
Abstract:
We present a family of measures of proximity of an arbitrary vertex in
a directed graph to a pre-specified subset of vertices, called the
anchor. Our measures are based on three different propagation schemes
and two different uses of the connectivity structure of the graph.
We consider a web-specific application of the above measures
with two disjoint anchors --- good and bad web pages ---
and study the accuracy of these measures in this context.
