Abstract

We describe the design, prototyping and evaluation of ARC, a system for automatically compiling a list of authoritative Web resources on any (sufficiently broad) topic. The goal of ARC is to compile resource lists similar to those provided by Yahoo! or Infoseek. The fundamental difference is that these services construct lists either manually or through a combination of human and automated effort, while ARC operates fully automatically. We describe the evaluation of ARC, Yahoo!, and Infoseek resource lists by a panel of human users. This evaluation suggests that the resources found by ARC frequently fare almost as well as, and sometimes better than, lists of resources that are manually compiled or classified into a topic. We also provide examples of ARC resource lists for the reader to examine.

    Trustworthy users are obtained according to the trust scores, which are calculated as defined in Section 4.2. For experts and popular locations, HITS-based (Chakrabarti et al., 1998) algorithm is adopted, in which locations and users correspond to authority nodes and hub nodes of HITS algorithms, respectively. In order to calculate the location and user scores for expert and popular location estimation, our HITS-based algorithm iterates up to a predefined count on the LBSN graph.

    The third category schemes used eigenvector to evaluate users' significance in the network. Eigenvector centrality (Zhang et al., 2013b) and cumulative nomination (Chakrabarti et al., 1998) are grouped under this category. The last category schemes consider the importance of the user by removing it from the network (Chunlin and Zonghai, 2005).
