classifier can greatly enhance the performance of a learning system. In this
paper we investigate scalable techniques for inducing discriminative features
by taking advantage of simple second order structure in the data. We focus on
multiclass classification and show that features extracted from the generalized
eigenvectors of the class conditional second moments lead to classifiers with
excellent empirical performance. Moreover, these features have attractive
theoretical properties, such as inducing representations that are invariant to
linear transformations of the input. We evaluate classifiers built from these
features on three different tasks, obtaining state of the art results. ER - TY - GEN AU - Langville, Amy N. AU - Meyer, Carl D.

Langville's homepage N1 - AB - Web information retrieval is significantly more challenging than traditional well-controlled,
small document collection information retrieval. One main difference between traditional
information retrieval and Web information retrieval is the Web’s hyperlink structure. This
structure has been exploited by several of today’s leading Web search engines, particularly
Google and Teoma. In this survey paper, we focus on Web information retrieval methods
that use eigenvector computations, presenting the three popular methods of HITS,
PageRank, and SALSA. ER -
