I’m not attending WWW this week, but I am promoting a paper that I helped with, Tracking the random surfer: Empirically measured teleportation parameters in PageRank. My main contribution was connecting the people with the idea to the people with the data, but I’m happy with the results.
Incidentally, this sort of measurement has a great application in health metrics. But I’m going to keep it secret for a little while, to get my thoughts in order.
