PersonalRank

Function

This API is used to run the PersonalRank algorithm based on input parameters.

PersonalRank is also called Personalized PageRank. It inherits the idea of the classic PageRank algorithm and uses the graph link structure to recursively calculate the importance of each node. Unlike the PageRank algorithm, the PersonalRank algorithm ensures that the probability of visiting each node during random walks reflects the user's preferences. This is achieved by having each jump during the random walk return to the source node with a probability of (1-alpha).

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
algorithmName	Yes	String	Algorithm name
parameters	Yes	parameters Object	Algorithm parameters

**Table 3** parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
source	Yes	String	Node ID
alpha	No	Double	Weight coefficient (also called damping coefficient). The value range is (0, 1). The default value is 0.85.
convergence	No	Double	Convergence accuracy. The value range is (0, 1). The default value is 0.00001.
max_iterations	No	Integer	Maximum iterations. An integer ranging from 1 to 2147483647. For frontend calls, the range is [1, 2000]. The default value is 1000.
directed	No	Boolean	Whether to consider the edge direction. The value can be true or false. The default value is true.

Response Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
errorMessage	String	System prompt. If execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank. If the execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error message.
errorCode	String	System prompt. If execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank. If the execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error code.
jobId	String	ID of the algorithm execution job. This parameter is left blank when the request fails. NOTE: You can use the returned job ID to view the task execution status and obtain the algorithm return result. For details, see Querying Job Status on the Service Plane (1.0.0).
jobType	Integer	Job type. This parameter is left blank when the request fails.
