An Experimental Evaluation of SimRank-based Similarity Search Algorithms
Summary: Empirical comparison of SimRank-based similarity search. Ten unified implementations (2002–2015) on graphs reveal no dominant method; iterative methods more accurate, random-walk more scalable; non-iterative variant excels on medium graphs - guidelines.
