Jon Kleinberg
Jon Michael Kleinberg (born October 1971 in Boston ) is Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University in Ithaca .
education
Kleinberg received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from Cornell University in 1993, his master's degree in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994 , where he received his PhD in 1996 under Michal Goemans ( Approximation algorithms for disjoint path problems ).
research
His main research interests are network theory . Kleinberg is among other author of the hypertext induced topic selection algorithm (HITS), the means of calculating HITS algorithm for the ranking of websites in the Internet can be used. He developed the algorithm at IBM's Almaden Research Laboratory and published it in 1999. His algorithm is an alternative to PageRank by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin , who developed it around the same time in 1998 (they quote Kleinberg in their original work).
In 2006 Kleinberg was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Complex networks and decentralized search algorithms ). He is a member of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Advisory Committee of the National Science Foundation and the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Research Council.
