This lecture covers the concepts of link-based ranking, focusing on PageRank and HITS algorithms. It explains how anchor text, authority, and hub pages influence ranking. Practical examples and challenges in web search and ranking methods are discussed, including the computation of PageRank and the convergence of HITS. The lecture also delves into the implementation of HITS, the computation of hubs and authorities, and the connectivity server for web graph analysis.
