Yee Fan
Tan, Min-Yen Kan and Dongwon Lee: Search Engine Driven Author Disambiguation
ACM/IEEE
Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2006
Discussion
•Apparent
correlation between accuracy and average number of URLs returned per
citation
–Author names with few URLs tend
to fare poorly since results are mainly aggregator web
sites
•We
do not observe any apparent relation between accuracy and number
of citations for an author name
–Our algorithm is scalable for
large number of citations
•Analysis
of returned URLs is very fast, execution time is dominated by search
engine querying
–Querying may already be done
while spidering, so our algorithm is time-efficient
