METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RANKING ELECTRONIC INFORMATION BY SIMILARITY ASSOCIATION

Systems and methods are provided for ranking electronic information based on determined similarities. In one aspect a set of unique features are determined from a collection of electronic objects. A graph is constructed in which electronic object are represented as object nodes and determined features are represented as feature nodes. The object nodes are interconnected by a weighted edge to at least one feature node. Scores for the object nodes and the feature nodes are computed using a determined set of anchor nodes and a determined weighted adjacency matrix. The object nodes and the featurenodes of the graph are ranked and displayed based on the computed scores. In one aspect, the scores and the ranks for the object nodes and the feature nodes are dynamically updated and displayed based on user preferences. 提供了用于基于所确定的相似性来对电子信息排名的系统和方法。在一方面，从电子对象群组确定独特特征集合。图被构建，其中电子对象被表示为对象节点，并且所确定的特征被表示为特征节点。对象节点通过加权边被互连到至少一个特征节点。使用所确定的锚节点集合和所确定的加权邻接矩阵来计算对象节点和特征节点的评分。基于所计算的评分来对图的对象节点和特征节点排名和显示。在一方面，基于用户偏好，动态地更新和显示对对象节点和特征
