'''Pagerank on Wikipedia: Towards General Importance Scores for Entities''' - scientific work related to [[Wikipedia quality]] published in 2016, written by [[Andreas Thalhammer]] and [[Achim Rettinger]].

== Overview ==
Link analysis methods are used to estimate importance in graph-structured data. In that realm, the PageRank algorithm has been used to analyze directed graphs, in particular the link structure of the Web. Recent developments in [[information retrieval]] focus on entities and their relations (i.e., knowledge graph panels). Many entities are documented in the popular knowledge base [[Wikipedia]]. The cross-references within Wikipedia exhibit a directed graph structure that is suitable for computing PageRank scores as importance [[indicators]] for entities. In this work, authors present different PageRank-based analyses on the link graph of Wikipedia and according experiments. Authors focus on the question whether some links—based on their context/position in the article text—can be deemed more important than others. In variants, authors change the probabilistic impact of links in accordance to their context/position on the page and measure the effects on the output of the PageRank algorithm. Authors compare the resulting rankings and those of existing systems with page-view-based rankings and provide statistics on the pairwise computed Spearman and Kendall rank correlations.
