Agenda

Lecture Assignment 19

Due at the start of class, Wednesday, November 16.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to jteresco AT siena.edu by the start of class. Please use a clear subject line when submitting by email (e.g., CS 180 Lecture Assignment 19, Joe Student). We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

  1. Consider the class example (from the notes) where we had four web pages and a collection of links among them. Add a link from page B to page A and recompute the PageRanks of the four pages. You may stop after 4 iterations. (6 points)
  2. Suppose you were going to try to extract metadata about images on the web using only textual information from the HTML documents that contain or link to those images. Where on the page (e.g., in or near which tags) would you look for meaningful information that might lead to good image keywords useful in an image search? (4 points)
