Could I trouble anyone to post a link to the scoring API documentation, as well as the "paper that underlies the current Nutch implementation"? I've dipped into the docs in a few places and haven't bumped into either of these documents.

Thanks,
g.

Hello Andrzej,

Please see the scoring API - you can write a plugin that manipulates
page scores according to your own idea.


Thanks a lot for your answer, but could you please shed some more
light onto scoring technique used in the Nutch?
As I can see from the source code Nutch uses something similar to the
pagerank algorithm propagating page scores through outlinks, but only one
iteration is used (while pagerank requires several iterations to
converge).


That's a bit complicated subject - I could either explain this in very general terms, or suggest that you read the paper that underlies the current Nutch implementation (with a twist). Please see the comment in OPICScoringFilter.java for the link to the paper.


I've started writing up a description of the changes that I think need to be made to Nutch to really implement the OPIC algorithm, as described by by the "Adaptive On-Line Page Importance Computation" paper (ACM 1-58113-680-3/03/0005).

Should I just open a JIRA issue, and dump what might be a pretty long write-up into it?

Thanks,

-- Ken
