Hi Everybody,

I reviewed the code and searched for a copy of the code and I was not able
to find it. Nevertheless, the piece of code that we can say that is
"copied" is the graph input[1] that we use in the test of Pagerank[2],
however, the "copied" part is [3] and [4]. Is it that copy? because we take
an image and we convert it to graph representation to process.

we can modify the data. We used it because it is just a well known example.

Best regards,
Bertty
