Papers by Googlers - http://research.google.com/pubs/papers.html Google supplies a partial list of papers written by people now at Google.
Adaptive Methods for the Computation of PageRank - http://www.stanford.edu/~sdkamvar/papers/adaptive.pdf This paper by Sepandar Kamvar, Taher Haveliwala, and Gene Golub describes an algorithm to speed up the computation of PageRank using the fact that pages converge at different rates.
The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine - http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html The definitive paper by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page describing PageRank, the algorithm that was later incorporated into the Google search engine.
PageRank Calculation Techniques - http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~taherh/papers/efficient-pr.pdf Paper by T. Haveliwala, describing efficient techniques for computing PageRank.
The Second Eigenvalue of the Google Matrix - http://www.stanford.edu/~sdkamvar/papers/secondeigenvalue.pdf This paper by Sepandar Kamvar and Taher Haveliwala proves analytically the second eigenvalue of the Google Matrix, which has implications for the PageRank algorithm.
Exploiting the Block Structure of the Web for Computing PageRank - http://www.stanford.edu/~sdkamvar/papers/blockrank.pdf This paper by Sepandar Kamvar, Taher Haveliwala, Chris Manning, and Gene Golub presents an algorithm to vastly speed up the computation of PageRank.
Extrapolation Methods for Accelerating PageRank Computations - http://www.stanford.edu/~sdkamvar/papers/extrapolation.pdf This paper by Sepandar Kamvar, Taher Haveliwala, Chris Manning, and Gene Golub, published in WWW13, presents an algorithm to speed up the computation of PageRank by making some initial approximations.
Detecting Colluders in PageRank - http://www.stanford.edu/group/reputation/Mason_Thesis.pdf PhD thesis by Kahn Mason on methods of discovering groups of websites that collude to boost their reputations, distorting the results of the PageRank algorithm. Stanford University.
Extracting Patterns and Relations from the World Wide Web - http://maya.cs.depaul.edu/~classes/ect584/papers/brin.pdf Paper by Sergey Brin presenting a technique which exploits the duality between sets of patterns and relations to grow the target relation, starting from a small sample.
Building a Distributed Full-Text Index for the Web - http://www10.org/cdrom/papers/275/ Paper from WWW10 by Sergey Melnik, Sriram Raghavan, Beverly Yang, Hector Garcia-Molina from the Computer Science Department at Stanford University.
Computing Iceberg Queries Efficiently - http://www.vldb.org/conf/1998/p299.pdf Paper by Min Fang, Narayanan Shivakumar, Hector Garcia-Molina, Rajeev Motwani, and Jeffrey D. Ullman, developing efficient execution strategies for a class of queries which perform an aggregate function over an attribute (or set of attributes) and then eliminates aggregate values that are below some specified threshold.
United States Patent: 6,526,440 - http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=6,526,440&OS=6,526,440&RS=6,526,440 Ranking search results by reranking the results based on local inter-connectivity. Inventor Krishna Bharat; assignee Google.
Method for Node Ranking in a Linked Database - http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7,058,628.PN.&OS=PN/7,058,628&RS=PN/7,058,628 United States Patent 7,058,628, granted to Lawrence Page, which incorporates material from two earlier patents relating to the PageRank system used by Google.
Topic-Sensitive PageRank - http://www2002.org/CDROM/refereed/127/ Taher H. Haveliwala's paper for the 11th International World Wide Web Conference explains that Google proposes to make PageRank reflect importance with respect to a particular topic.
WWW2003: Detecting Near-replicas on the Web by Content and Hyperlink Analysis - http://www2003.org/cdrom/papers/poster/p193/p193-diiorio-IE/p193-diiorio.html Paper by Ernesto Di Iorio, et. al. proposing a technique for finding lists of similar documents, based on a pair of signatures which take into account both the document contents and the hyperlink structure.
The Nature of Meaning in the Age of Google - http://informationr.net/ir/9-3/paper180.html Terrence A. Brooks writes a paper about how search engines are changing the way we understand the world around us.
The PageRank Citation Ranking: Bringing Order to the Web - http://dbpubs.stanford.edu:8090/pub/1999-66 Stanford paper by Lawrence Page, Sergey Brin, Rajeev Motwani, and Terry Winograd, describing PageRank as a static ranking, performed at indexing time, which interprets a link as a vote.
