CitationRank (like PageRank accept for papers/citations)

[cegme]

Here is another problem for you @virup @clintpgeorge @supriyan

We want to calculate a global importance factor for all the papers in the data set.
This is similar to page rank. The value of a paper CR(p) should produce a value that is the probability that if I am randomly looking for an important paper I land on p.

A paper with citations should have a higher value than a paper with no citations.

A paper with P citations should have a smaller value compared to a paper with G citations of citations where |P| - |G| < sigma.

The references of a paper do no affect the paper's score. (Although we should have a self-citation penalty)

Also, can we compute these values using SQL?

If this ranking has to be done purely on the basis of citations, then i
have done it. I can explain when we meet.
Just brain storming - is citations the only factor for a paper to be
important or it also depends on who cited it - for eg -

2 papers, both have 50 citations in dblp, but one gets cited by more
important papers.

OK, I have a solution that it looks like it solves the problem. It is in UDF/citation_count.sql. You can see the program UDF/citation_count.py to see what the solution is supposed to be.
