This is an experimental fork. It has a number of changes from the original csrankings page. Most notably, it includes a Social Media/Social Computing category (which has CSCW and ICWSM) and adds InfoVis, WSDM, and ICDM. I've also added faculty from non-CS departments (specifically programs like UW's HCDE and iSchool, Cornell's ITP, Michigan's School of Information, UMD's HCIL/ischool, and Colorado's Information program). Often these programs house the bulk of HCI and Data Mining faculty for different schools. I suspect there are other similar situations (e.g., EE departments with Machine Learning folks). Since many of us actually have appointments and can advise CS students, I think this is fair. That said... treat this as a beta of a beta.
This ranking of top computer science schools is designed to identify institutions and faculty actively engaged in research across a number of areas of computer science. Unlike US News and World Report's approach, which is exclusively based on surveys, this ranking is entirely metrics-based. It measures the number of publications by faculty that have appeared at the most selective conferences in each area of computer science. This approach is intended to be difficult to game, since publishing in such conferences is generally difficult: contrast this with other approaches like citation-based metrics, which have been repeatedly shown to be easy to manipulate. That said, incorporating citations in some form is a long-term goal. This site is in beta and is a work in progress.
