Abstract

The Hilltop algorithm has played a very important role in the search results sort of Google. In this paper, we depth analysis the main ideas of Hilltop, and discussed the problems of the algorithm, such as part of the related documents are excluded from the result set, and when it did not find sufficient the expert documents and do not return any results, etc. To solve these problems, we propose appropriate improvements.
