Abstract

In scholarly digital libraries, author disambiguation is an important task that attributes a scholarly work with specific authors. This is critical when individuals share the same name. We present an approach to this task that analyzes the results of automatically-crafted web searches. A key observation is that pages from rare web sites are stronger source of evidence than pages from common web sites, which we model as Inverse Host Frequency (IHF). Our system is able to achieve an average accuracy of 0.836.

CIKM '12: Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management

Given a set of automatically extracted entities E of size n, we would like to cluster all the various names referring to the same canonical entity together. The variations of each entity include acronyms, full name, and informal naming conventions. We ...
A supervised and distributed framework for cold-start author disambiguation in large-scale publications
Abstract
Names make up a large portion of queries in search engines, while the name ambiguity problem brings negative effect to the service quality of search engines. In digital academic systems, this problem refers to a large number of publications ...
Author name disambiguation in scientific collaboration and mobility cases

Scientists generally do scientific collaborations with one another and sometimes change their affiliations, which leads to scientific mobility. This paper proposes a recursive reinforced name disambiguation method that integrates both coauthorship and ...
