Abstract
This paper addresses the author disambiguation problem in academic social network, namely, resolves the phenomenon of synonym problem “multiple names refer to one person” and polysemy problem “one name refers to multiple persons”. A unified semi-supervised framework is proposed to deal with both the synonym and polysemy problems. First, the framework uses semi-supervised approach to solve the cold-start problem in author disambiguation. Second, robust training data generating method based on multi-aspect similarity indicator is used and a way based on support vector machine is employed to model different kinds of feature combinations. Third, a self-taught procedure is proposed to solve ambiguity in coauthor information to boost the performances from other models. The proposed framework is verified on a large-scale real-world dataset, and obtains promising results.
