Author Disambiguation Presentation @ TIR Workshop

This week i presented our work on author disambiguation at the TIR'11 workshop in Toulouse. The presentation outlined our findings on the need of very clean features and better model selection methods for disambiguating author names in the wild. Discussions raised the idea to use overlapping blocking methods and to apply outlier detection afterwards. That may be a nicer approach in solving the model selection problem.

Of course the presentation is also uploaded to the Mendeley based TEAM folder for sharing our documents in the project
