Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case,从落后而反动的wsj评论看见的。看来是本很有意思的书,先记下来,有空去买本研究一下。
该书作者之一Robert David Johnson的专题Blog。

周末翻书
Friday, February 2, 2007 9:17:11 PM
周末,一个人在家,看电视已经戒了,把地上的书整理了一下,边理边翻。其中一本颇有感情,是当年第一次步入大学学堂的教材SICP,书前面已经断线,给我用大量的胶水粘住,翻起来有点困难。前段时间一位网人 Email 采访各大牛人,被问道最想读什么技术性书籍的时候,Peter Norvig 还把 SICP 抬了出来。想来不是没有理由的,脚注4提到:作为google的技术首脑,Norvig对large-scale program design有兴趣的可能性很大,况且这还是scheme。....In fact, the treatment of numbers is one of the trickiest and most confusing aspects of any programming language.....Since our focus in this book is on large-scale program design rather than on numerical techniques, we are going to ignore these problems....
说到“one of the trickiest and most confusing aspects of any programming language”,又捞出另外一本书——Hacker's delight,厌恶电视、又不知道可以做什么的时候,可以看看这本书,但是如厕时候最好不要,免得蹲的时间过长。
介绍PageRank和HITS的书
Friday, February 2, 2007 2:26:43 PM
写PageRank算法的书似乎就找到这么一本:Google's PageRank and Beyond -- The science of search engine rankings,Langville是一位女数学教授,Meyer是一位男数学教授,雌雄二教授宣称为了让学生了解数学(线性代数)并不是那么枯燥,写了这本书。比较详细地讨论了PageRank和Jon Kleinberg(当时在IBM Almaden研究中心,现为康奈尔大学教授)的HITS。TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Preface
Chapter 1: Introduction to Web Search Engines
Chapter 2: Crawling, Indexing, and Query Processing
Chapter 3: Ranking Webpages by Popularity
Chapter 4: The Mathematics of Google's PageRank
Chapter 5: Parameters in the PageRank Model
Chapter 6: The Sensitivity of PageRank
Chapter 7: The PageRank Problem as a Linear System
Chapter 8: Issues in Large-Scale Implementation of PageRank
Chapter 9: Accelerating the Computation of PageRank
Chapter 10: Updating the PageRank Vector
Chapter 11: The HITS Method for Ranking Webpages
Chapter 12: Other Link Methods for Ranking Webpages
Chapter 13: The Future of Web Information Retrieval
Chapter 14: Resources for Web Information Retrieval
Chapter 15: The Mathematics Guide
这本书最好的地方在于总结了散布于各个杂志的相关研究文章,让读者可以自己自足不需要去查阅文献。第二个优点是有MATLAB的源码可供应试玩。第三个优点:此书不厚。
第15章是个简单的数学方法概览,主要是线性代数、马克夫链、图论等。
书的缺点是排版不太好,特别是章节的"Aside"字体很小,而往往篇幅很大,看着费力。
