ABSTRACT
Learning Villages (LV) is an E-learning platform for people's online discussions and frequently citing postings of one another. In this paper, we propose a novel method to rank credit authors in the LV system. We first propose a k-EACM graph to describe the article citation structure in the LV system. And then we build a weighted graph model k-UCM graph to reveal the implicit relationship between authors hidden behind the citations among their articles. Furthermore, we design a graph-based ranking algorithm, the Credit Author Ranking (CAR) algorithm, which can be applied to rank nodes in a graph with negative edges. Finally, we perform experimental evaluations by simulations. The results of evaluations illustrate that the proposed method works pretty well on ranking the credibility of users in the LV system.

Authority Rankings from HITS, PageRank, and SALSA: Existence, Uniqueness, and Effect of Initialization
Algorithms such as Kleinberg's HITS algorithm, the PageRank algorithm of Brin and Page, and the SALSA algorithm of Lempel and Moran use the link structure of a network of web pages to assign weights to each page in the network. The weights can then be ...
Measuring academic influence using heterogeneous author-citation networks
Academic influence has been traditionally measured by citation counts and metrics derived from it, such as H-index and G-index. PageRank based algorithms have been used to give higher weight to citations from more influential papers. A better metric is ...
