Comment: CoSimRank may be notable, but we require multiple, reliable, arm's length sources to provide evidence of it as described above. Thanks. j⚛e deckertalk 15:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

## CoSimRank

CoSimRank is a variant of SimRank with the advantage of also having a local formulation, i.e. CoSimRank can be computed for a single node pair.[1] Let $\mathbf{S}$ be the similarity matrix whose entry $[\mathbf{S}]_{a,b}$ denotes the similarity score $s(a,b)$, and $\mathbf{A}$ be the column normalized adjacency matrix. Then, in matrix notations, CoSimRank can be formulated as:

${{\mathbf{S}}}= C\cdot (\mathbf{A}^{T} \cdot {{\mathbf{S}}}\cdot {{\mathbf{A}}} ) + {{\mathbf{I}}},$

where $\mathbf{I}$ is an identity matrix. To compute the similarity score of only a single node pair, let $p^{(0)}(i) = e_i$, with $e_i$ being a vector of the standard basis, i.e., the $i$-th entry is 1 and all other entries are 0. Then, CoSimRank can be computed in two steps:

1. $p^{(k)} = A p^{(k-1)}$
2. $s(i,j) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} C^k \langle p^{(k)}(i), p^{(k)}(j) \rangle$

Step one can be seen a simplified version of Personalized PageRank. Step two sums up the vector similarity of each iteration. Both, matrix and local representation, compute the same similarity score. CoSimRank can also be used to compute the similarity of sets of nodes, by modifying $p^{(0)}(i)$.
