    Abstract

    Link analysis ranking methods are widely used for summarizing the connectivity structure of large networks. We explore a weighted version of two common link analysis ranking algorithms, PageRank and HITS, and study their applicability to assistive environment data. Based on these methods, we propose a novel approach for identifying representative objects in large datasets, given their similarity matrix. The novelty of our approach is that it takes into account both the pair-wise similarities between the objects, as well as the origin and "evolution path" of these similarities within the dataset. The key step of our method is to define a complete graph, where each object is represented by a node and each edge in the graph is given a weight equal to the pairwise similarity value of the two adjacent nodes. Nodes with high ranking scores correspond to representative objects. Our experimental evaluation was performed on three data domains: american sign language, sensor data, and medical data.
