Author Disambiguation Details

[Steve Eichert]

Hello All,

Have any details been published or shared regarding how the latest author disambiguation process works?  I know it's a difficult problem and it appears you are making great strides.  I'd be very interested in any of the underlying details that are available to be shared.  As others have stated having visibility into the metrics used to evaluate the methods as well as any details on how it currently works would be great to share.

Best,

Steve

Hi Steve,

No, we've not published anything yet. We're still in a cycle of making improvements, and with the changes we are making it's best to wait on documenting or releasing the code. 

As you have probably seen, we have a strong commitment to transparency, so it's on our roadmap to openly document how author disambiguation works, and release the underlying code and models that power it. We'll keep you updated!

Thanks,
Casey
