Abstrakt: (přednáška bude v češtině)
In the late 1990s, searching the internet was not as easy and pleasing
as it is today. Results returned by search engines back then were
quite often irrelevant, and it took a lot of time to find what one was
looking for. Frustrated by such a fact of the day, two young students
of Stanford University decided they wanted something better. They have
created what has gradually evolved to the Google search engine. At the
heart of it, an algorithm called PageRang is at work. PageRank can
find out the importance of any internet site. It can do so
automatically, from the data alone, and without human intervention. I
I will demonstrate the ideas leading to the construction of PageRank,
discuss the beautiful simplicity of it, and demonstrate its
properties.
