Abstract
In this paper, we propose a model which is designed for the ranking of people who are of a same working domain. Our model measures their ranks comprehensively. It calculates their rank-scores from two aspects: one aspect is about their sociability, which can be represented by the links connected to them from other related people, the other one is about the achievements completed by them, e.g., the achievements of a scientist can be measured by the quality of books and papers published by him/her. Our model also takes the decaying effect of time into consideration, because achievements would probably be forgotten by people or might become obsolete after a long time period, consequently the related rank-scores would be decayed along with time. Our experiments showed that our rank list is time sensitive and more meaningful in the situation when we want to get people ranked according to how much people are recognized and remembered by others at a specific time point.
